Wow ! that Empress Wu is already huge. Nice haul.

All good choices. If you have room for them, why not indulge? I also have Serendipity. It gets overlooked for being a plain blue/green, but it makes a nice even mound that's very pleasing to the eye.

Kristy caught the Hosta bug, yay!!! An impressive lineup of great looking hostas.

Looks like you picked winners!

haha! Yes, I caught the hosta bug again! I had it, then something "cured" it, but now it's back stronger than ever!

Thanks, All!!

Great haul!

I can't believe you had Luna Moth at an actual store! I had to mail order that one.

Haha...Don!

Haha... Don, that is hilarious!

Popmama... I am fortunate to live a couple miles away from a couple who sell hostas at their private home. More on that another time!!

Nice selections...good luck with them!

Wonderful choices, and beautiful specimens! Good job :)

Nice haul! I feel sorry for that rock and hostas near your Empress Wu! She will be showing them who's boss ; )

We have no qualms about moving things and dividing plants when the time comes. The problem for us is that we plant things, think we like a bed just the way it is, then find something that fits a space even better.

Always a W.I.P. and a learning opportunity.

We are always moving things around. There's always something new and exciting on the market--also all the pictures on here are just like eye candy to a hosta addict!

You won't regret Liberty. It doesn't look like much for 3-5 years, but once it develops a wide border, it's a real scene stealer.

Nice specimens! I absolutely love Risky Business!

I just opened this post again...this time on my iPad. These pictures (and hostas) are fabulous! Really nice photography where I feel like I can almost touch them! :-)

Thank you!!!

Great choices! I also have the four you just bought. Be sure to give Atlantis a lot of room! Mine was planted in 2014 and is already about 5' across. Luna Moth is a faster grower too!

I don't have a picture but my Atlantis is about five feet across and a real show. Enjoy!

Risky Business keeps catching my eye every time I see it! Gotta find one!

All great hostas nicely done.

I swore no hostas this year, so far the count is 58 and not quite finished yet.

It's a slippery slope!

Dave

OMGoodness, Dave! Surely you have set a record in the number of "potted hosta" category held by a hosta-lover who does not own a nursery business!?! Have you shared pics of all of those 58 with us yet or are you holding out, hmm? Slippery slope is a contagion.... ;-)

Hartogken, I think that about RB each and every time I see it too! Love the clean and crisp and distinct look of it? It won't eat my other hostas - maybe I'll bump it up the list....;-)

Dave... LOL!

And wow... I knew Atlantis would be a big one, but 5 feet? And so quickly? We did give it room. Only time will tell if it was enough.

Thank you, Everyone, for the kind words!!

I went to my favorite hosta farm last week and picked up World Cup and a new Praying Hands since mine disappeared. They gave me a coupon to come back and save $10 when I spend $40. Guess I'll be going Saturday...

Michaela, your Praying Hands didn't survive? I was thinking about getting one myself.

Hi Kristy, it didn't and I'm not sure why. I had it a few years and it didn't come back this year. Trying it again because I really like it.

Kristy,

I had two very small ones in 4 inch pots that I didn't get planted last autumn (my biggest hosta fault). One had good snow coverage and one didn't and they both came through the winter here in zone 4-5. Got down to -20. They are doing well now, still in their 4" pots! The fault continues! I like them a lot too.
