So, nobody has an idea as to what this one is? Might have to try another one.

It is small?

I'm wondering if it is an edged plant that got taken over by the all green, or if it is a green plant that is sporting. Loose divisions like that (50 in a one gal pot) not all coming off one fat crown are a place to start. Here is Don Rawson's List of rhizomatous hostas, and you would have to compare that with the list of miniature hostas to narrow things down a bit. Then red-petioled ones, etc. I have a Gaijin in a dish that grows like that. OTOH, where did you get these? Are they seedlings that are good growers so someone shared them with you? Did you get them from a local plant sale? Abandoned lot? ;-) Go here: Don Rawson's Lists at the Hosta Library

First of all thanks to Maria, Jim and Babka. It is a small plant, about 6" tall. All but 2 of the plants were green, a couple were variegated yellow on the edge. I bought it at a nursery in the Salt Lake City area which didn't specialize in hostas but had a few. It definitely did not grow from central crown, they all just pulled apart as separate plants. They are very small, leaves are about 1x2". Vase shaped. I will look at Don Rawson's list. That'll be fun! Appreciate all of your help and if you have any more ideas I'd welcome them. I've got a few more to ID but we will work on them one at a time.

Wow, the lists are amazing Babka. I am printing out the applicable ones and will weed them out and see what happens. Thanks!

Jim, I don't think its lancaefolia. I have a friend that has a bunch of those (and is going to share come spring) and the leaves seem longer, greener and shinier with more pronounced veins.

Are there any edge variegated sports of Strawberry Yogurt?

Gardengoon, thanks for your help. I appreciate your input. Your strawberry yogurt looks like the leaf blades are more elongated than the one that I have. On mine the petioles are long and the leaf is shorter.

Hi there,

What are the flowers like? ( color and type-open or closed)? The color of the flower scape and height of the scape? (if you happen to remember from previous year if it is not flowering yet).

Are you growing this in sunny-ish area (to know if the color is a lighter tone or normal coloring)?

This site link below has a great search feature... you can narrow things down a lot by selecting the characteristics on the "shop by" side menu and also by clicking on the search for Hostas by green text along the top... select Leaf (I find that to be helpful with details).

Well just for kicks... my guesses:

Hosta Venusta

Ogon Gold Sword

Brooklynn's Baby Doll

Hosta Clausa var. normalis (too tall)

Hosta Livonia (too tall)

It does look like strawberry yogurt too. :)

Angie, I think we may have a winner! It looks very much like venusta in leaf type, petiole color and habit! It's about 6 inches tall and it is getting its first scape since I bought it. There are several varieties of it, so I will do more research but I think we are on the right track! Another one I can check off my list! Thanks so much for your help! And thanks to everyone else for narrowing it down! If I had to search alphabetically in the hosta library it would have taken me a LONG TIME!
