    Paradise Power was the latest for me. Later than both of my On Stages, which are just unfurling now. Paradise Power didn't even show itself until May 18.

    Thank you for all the input. I can vouch for some of those hostas listed, since they are slow to emerge in my garden also. The ones which are slow to emerge for me are:

    ÂChoko NishikiÂ
    ÂKinkakuÂ
    montana ÂMountain SunriseÂ
    ÂMr. BigÂ
    ÂOn StageÂ
    ÂRhino HideÂ

    I grow some of the others that have been listed, but don't recall that they came up much later than most hostas. Some of them I don't grow, so I don't really know. Would anyone else like to offer their comments about the hostas that have already been listed- if they have been late to emerge for you also, or have been as early as most hosta cultivars, for you. Thanks, Don

    Need more input on the following:
    ÂBlack HillsÂ
    ÂBright LightsÂ
    ÂFortunei cultivars
    ÂFranceeÂ
    ÂFujibotanÂ
    ÂGold StandardÂ
    ÂGreen FountainÂ
    ÂHoneybellsÂ
    ÂIndependenceÂ
    ÂJimmy Crack CornÂ
    ÂParadise PowerÂ
    ÂRevolutionÂ
    ÂTokudama FlavocircinalisÂ
    ÂTopazÂ
    ÂYellow RiverÂ

    My Woolly Mammoth, Praying Hands and Sugar Daddy were late to emerge...not as late as On Stage but late enough to make me nervous

    Definitely On Stage, American Icon is just now poking up, but it was a newbie last year so that may have some effect. Jimmy Crack Corn and Paul's Glory are slightly later than most of the others.

    HoneyBells for me.

  • summermusicz4ia

    On Stage has been last one up for many years. But this year Grey Ghost wins that honor....only it's 2nd spring tho so maybe will be earlier as it matures.

  • alpine_67

    Bright Lights was my last one up.

  • tangerine_z6

    My Jimmy Crack Corn was up late but he's worth the wait!

  • sla762

    Snow Cap - always last , as well as On Stage!

  • rosethyme

    Orange Marmalade. Came up just as I was about to replace it...a real favorite.

    montana 'Aureomarginata'
    ditto to 'On Stage'
    Deep Blue Sea
    Jimmy Crack Corn
    Bright Lights
    Cutting Edge
    'Tokudama Aureonebulosa'
    My 'Nutty Professor' was the last to emerge this year, but it was really small so it might just be me.

    Independence and Eternal Flame were both so late for me that I thought they hadn't made it...babies, just 3 eyes each, so don't know if my vote would count...zone 5

    Oh yeah.... Manhattan. One of the last for me in spite of having morning sun .
