Jessica Alba

June Fever

Can hardly wait for your Jessica Alba to come up this year, Karin! Nice looking J's too! :)

I hope she will be back, she's definitely one of my favourites. Very nice looking Jewel of the Nile :-) I should put that one on my list, too. This alphabet is so tempting and the pictures are really beautiful. Most of my hostas are very young and to see how they will look in some years makes hosta collecting so irresistible...

and end of October

Jaws

Joshua's Banner

The Js are a feast for the eyes.

Beautiful Junes and June progeny, everyone. My Justine and June Spirit look identical...could it be the same hosta by different names?

Sunnywood and zkathy, your Jade Cascades are spectacular!

Jo, I want, er, NEED a Jujen..what a gem...AND your Jimmy Crack Corn has the most amazing ripples.

Holy cow, McT. Your Jaws is a monster. I didn't think the leaves would get that wide. I expected it to stay like Laurie's, which is full and beautiful too.

Newhostaaddict, I bought Jabulani (means "rejoice") too but mine is still a one-year- old. He appears to be a good grower.

Jabulani on June 5

two months later, on August 6

Jack of Diamonds...a really slow grower for me

Jimmy Crack Corn

Jewel of the Nile. I'm going to let it revert to Dee's Golden Jewel.

June...and friends...

Here is a Jade Cascade to be envied. Picture taken last summer at Crossview gardens in Morrisville,VT

Great to see the Jade Cascades, here is mine.

I am loving the pics of Journeys End, trying to decide to get either it or Emerald Rough Cut, they seem quite similar, decisions decisions...

Denis

Sunnywood, that JC is a beautiful beast, were you singing to it? lol

Denis, the variegation/color on the two is similar, and ERC is more ruffled, I think, but Journey's End gets a lot bigger and is more solid and stout, the substance being better. I saw a mature JE in a guy's garden here in Colorado a few years ago, and I almost passed out. Huge and beautiful. It made me very glad I got one.

Jeez, Jade Cascades get HUGE!!! Want.

Not nearly as nice as anyone else's but here's my June. Gets quite a bit of sun.

Cheers Don, just the info I needed, JE it is then.

Do people put a dead bison in the hole before they plant a Jade Cascade? Lol

Just two Js for me:

June

June Fever

This is one of the leaves from my June Fever. Not sure if this may be a sport?

Sunnywood, your lovely June Fever has some leaves that look similar to this pic. Have you ever thought you had a sport or were they just part of the lovely variation that is June Fever?

Irawon, Newhostaadict, & Sunnywood, love love love your Jack of Diamonds. Saw a picture in one of my hosta books of this one and have wanted it ever since. But it looks a lot like Tokudama Flavorcircinalis to me - do any of you have this one and find them to be quite similar? Anyway I am ouy of real estate and can't afford duplicates or look alikes :(

Another June Fever (unless it's a June Spirit). It seems that the width of the margin varies quite a bit from one plant to another! The colour of the leaf in the spring might provide a clue for accurate ID. I found this plant totally hidden beneath the branches of an Alberta Spruce. I had no idea it was there. After I "rescued" it, it said thanks!

Irawon, glad you like my Jujen (sport of Squash Casserole). Regarding JCCorn I'm thinking the variation of leaf shape is likely due to extra sun exposure. It was also one of a handful of hostas relocated last summer so it may look a bit more sedate this year? We shall see...

When I compare the same plants grown under different conditions, the prolonged sun-exposed hostas have longer and pointier leaves compared to shade grown ones, in my garden. June looks quite different without the fullness in the middle of the leaves, for example.

Hostas for Barb, your June Fever is amazing...just could NOT not comment. I have T. Flavocircinalis and it does look a lot like Jack of Diamonds. I have no good pictures of it. I have a great picture of one owned by a local nursery owner, who grows hostas to perfection. I will post a pic in a new thread...you decide.

Jo, I see what you mean. I've noticed that Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Lives have more pronounced ripples with more sun. If it weren't such a chore I would move mine to more sun...hope I rememmber if and when i purchase more ripplies.

Don, glad you showed us your June. It's off to a really good start.

Denis, your Jade Cascade will look fabulous in a pot. Wish I could grow them in pots...I've tried and failed.

Tsugajunkie, your June is beautiful and has lovely friends...nice combo.

Mae, it looks more like June Spirit to me but I'm no expert...lovely and healthy looking.

Oh, Jujen. Very nice. And Jessica Alba.....and all the Junes. Beautiful pictures everyone. It was 9 below zero here last night. I need this..

Year before last, I planted 5 Junes in a row. I have high hopes, but last year didn't look good. It's very encouraging to see all the beautiful Junes.

And Joseph. I don't think I have seen that one before. I keep saying I won't buy things because of their name, but I may have to make an exception. That was my dads name, would be nice to have.

Denis, I did laugh out loud! No bison planting in this whiskey barrel, here's my Jade Cascade at the end of the season:

Jabulani

Journey's End

Kathy, it looks great in the half barrel, It still might be too small for it eventually even with the lack of bison, how old is it?

Irawon, June Fever is my husband's favourite hosta in my collection. Mine gets quite a bit of sun and always stands out. One I always recommend - especially to newbies - just can't go wrong with June or June Fever.

Beautiful "J's" everyone!

Jack of Diamonds, under a messy tree, and a bit crowded.

Jimmy Crack Corn on the right. It's getting overwhelmed by Satisfaction behind it.

Another June, always a winner even in a sea of hostas.

June Fever is running over its neighbor.

My gardens are crowded, but looking through this alphabet just makes me want more hostas. All you enablers! .....But it's too fun to stop!!

Wow Mctavish....awesome Jaws...looks dangerous! Just beautiful J's and Junes so far.

My Junes....love them all!

My first June...favorite and favorite pic

Newest June...think it will fill this space nicely in the spring

This June is in more shade... with Fragrant Bouquet

This June gets a great deal of mid day sun and holds up very well considering the number of hours in the sun. Adapts a little better each season

Can't have too many Junes! Thanks for looking!

Denis, Jade Cascade has been in that barrel for three full seasons. When I saw that picture Sunnywood posted the first thought I had was I wish my garden had spandex in it!

Spandex! LOL. But it looks like you don't have to worry too much about it yet ... by that time those strapping young grandsons of yours will just have to help Grandma with her expansion plans again! ;-).

Got room for one more June? My only J, love it early when the yellow/gold is still showing.

Here is another shot of "June" in August, it is still young but I love it. I am looking forward to having the larger clumps of this plant which I have seen in this post.

Hi Beth,

Welcome to the forum! Could you tell me what that plant marker is made of? The round one that says June?

June is such a beautiful hosta, and all your pictures prove that!

June in mid May

June at the end of May (same June as above with another beside it)

and then in mid July

Lovely fall color on June

Joy Ride (purchased at the end of the season) Saw one during a hosta tour, and I was impressed with it. Hopefully this one will transform itself next year.
