Seems I've heard that 'Morning Sun' the reverse of 'Twilight' and the 'Twilight' are pretty
good with some sun despite their whites.

Wait for someone to confirm or negate that, though--it's just in the back of my mind that
that is the case with those, and they may also be more slug resistant!

The heart shaped leaves stop me!

COuntry Mouse - but it may not be dark enough or heart shaped enough

Little Doll

Independence

Queen Josephine

Whirlwind - though it will go all green

Pizzazz

I will keep thinking....

Wide Brim?

Don't know about slugs. I'm so simple minded at this point.

Take a look at "Dream Weaver". I'm having good luck with it in a sunny location (not full sun all day though). and the slugs have not touched it.

Okay...I had a little fun with the lists on Don R's website comparing slug resistant to sun tollerant and came up with a list of 30 or so that were both. After checking in with HostaLibrary for colors/photos/sizes, take a look at 'Morning Light' because I think it's SO CUTE.

It might only be those colors late in the season???? Maybe someone here has it?

The other white and green contenders:
'Bright Lights'
'Fragrant Bouquet'
'Grand Master'
'Julia'
'Remember Me'

And then two gold and green with a nice shape leaf:
'Bright Lights'
'Just So'

Hope you have fun looking at them on HL,

If Queen Josephine fits then it is a dependable grower with much to recommend it and is available at reasonable prices. E-bay but the prices aren't worth the difference between a small one and a larger one.

Many possible suggestions don't seem to me to qualify as round leaves and I don't think of QJ as real round.

i am fascinated by the translation.. seeing the Quebec reference..

i have had my brian 'picked' ... but never 'raked' .....

though after a few too many adult beverages ... i have felt like my brain was raked ....

some of the suggestions are large plants... and i wouldnt recommend thunderbolt to anyone ... aka dream weaver ...

your problem MIGHT be.. what is available in Canada .... as compared to what is suggested here ...

anyway .. welcome.. hopefully some of our Canadian friends will chime in ... pappy?????? .. not only with suggestions.. but actual places to buy from ....

name sounds new.. welcome... ken

Ken...you are such a rake.

Hee heeeeeeeee

EO - I was thinking in terms of heart-shaped or rounder rather than long..... I thhink most on the list I suggested would qualify then.

And ken - I thought the same thing - having my brain raked would certainly be an improvement some Sat mornings..... I have a love/hate relationship with the no longer "new" martini bar not far from my house LOLOLOL!

Ken, why wouldn't you recommend Thunderbolt? Mine performs much better than my Dream Weaver, though both perform well. Still, there's virtually no difference in their coloration and they are planted only 4 feet apart in the same conditions. But Thunderbolt is much bigger than Dream Weaver.

Let me state for the record, that I am aware that one sample, (mine) is not a big enough sample to make any kind of assertion.

C'mon guys, you don't pick a gardener's brain... You rake it!!! I was going to say "hoe" but some people might have taken it wrong, though hostas are better hoed than raked!

;-)

Thanks for all the suggestions, I found a local hosta and daylily specialist and he didn't have many of these. He did have DreamWeaver, but it reminded me of Great Expections, a hosta I killed 3 times despite pampering.

I bought 5x "Summer Music" and I hope and pray it will resist sun and slugs, I'm not so sure. But it did have the look I wanted. Dark green and white, the perfect neighbour to my Sum and Substance and miniature blue spruce.

white tissue is basically dead to the plant .... reduced food production.. and IMHO ... reduced transpiration .... or ability to 'take' the sun ...

they melt out in too much sun ...

but the plant will fade away in to much shade ....

real tricky to properly site a plant with such problems ..

when the perfect place is found ... they are spectacular ...

good luck

Consider Warwick Comet, Lakeside Meter Maid, Lakeside Baby Face, Popcorn, Americana (?, new, not sure how big it will be) I grow these in quite a bit of sun, with no issues. There are more, let me think.

I saw Warwick Comet... that would have been my dream choice if it had been available. Now that I've seen Popcorn, it looks very much like Warwick Comet, but it was not available either.

The Summer Music leaves don't appear as leathery, so I am a bit worried.

I do have other hostas growing in the same area and they are OK...

Keeping my fingers crossed.
