Antioch Hosta
I purchased an Antioch Hosta 2 years ago. I know I did because it is the same name as the church I attend. I have been trying to identify it with a couple noid Hostas in my garden. The other issue is I over wintered a couple Hostas in my garage that did not make it that year. So ... I'm not sure if these no id's fit.
This hosta very vigorous grower. The new growth has a light yellow edge that turns white as the leaf matures. The plant is about 15" high. My only concern is maybe the edge is too neat. All comments are appreciated or pics of your Antioch will be appreciated.

I have been considering Francee, but I wondered about the light yellow edging on new leaves. Is that a Francee characteristic? I recently removed a couple eyes ... He is pics of them ... Largest leaf 2 1/4" X 4". Mother plant 3" X 6". Height of mother plant 8". I also noticed a white edge going down petiole on both sides.
#2 ... Also ... I have 2 other noid's that might be Francee. This one below is a year or two old. Leaves 4" X 6". Height 10 1/2". Center back.
#3 ... This one is 2 years old. 3 eyes. 6" tall. Leaf 2 1/2" X 4"
10 years agolast modified: 10 years agoI was also going to say Francee...until you mentioned the creamy edge. Francee's margin is white from the get-go.
Here is my Antioch - first in May, then in June of this year.
Mine is mature and with maturity come lovely huge leaves and a wider margin.. I would consider this a definite workhorse in my garden.
