Ademink - Ahhhhh yes my fellow lover of tall/vase hostas Do I know where im going to plant all of them? No...but i'll find space. Im getting a little more picky now about what I add to the list haha

I think you need some intervention.......... ; )

Sherry

Awesome list! Goodness Gracious will be one of your favorites. Where did you find Stags Leap?

haha, I know! As the presentations continue I'm thinking "wonder if I can decline that one that I said "yes" to earlier...." ;)

zkathy - Gary from Naylors Creek offered it on FBs Hosta Buyers Guide - they sold out within maybe 10 minutes I think?

Jealous. Even if I could prevail and order more hosts I have no real estate left and more than enough potted ones. Love love your list and Gary and FB is very addictive...

My list is at about 20 new hosts for next year and that will make it crowded...

Where will you get Stargate?

None....hoping to sell around 150 of them.

I’m hoping to get....

Cup of Grace

Deep Blue Sea

Celtic Dancer

Queen of the Seas

Beyond Glory

Gentle Giant

Sum of All

Rhino Hide

It‘s gonna be a long winter :)

Since I have so many large ones that didn't get planted this year, I'm going to try to limit myself in number as well as size. In the spring I'll have to figure out where they will go.... So I know I'll get some, but hopefully I can exercise some self-control.

These are the plants on my short list:

Sharp Dressed Man - I only see it for sale through Green Hill

Purple Verticulated Elf

Midnight Oil

Chromosphere

Tea and Crumpets

World Cup - yes, I know that's a larger one, but I have a specific location in mind

Risky Business

I don't have any streaked hostas yet... so maybe I can get a Korean Snow? Kaleidochrome?

I don't have a big list (yet). But I would really like One Iota.

A small list so far...

Valley's Blue Chute

Oberland Thin Line

Oberland Darkness

Fan Dance

Fruit Punch

Jack Berry

Coastal Treasure

Cleopatra

Scheherazade

Nippers

Lakeside Coal Miner

I would like to hear how LS Coal Minet does and if it’s as dark as it’s reported to be!

I'm also curious how dark it is. I like the dark green Hosta. Oberland Darkness is another one from a small nursery in Austria.

I got carried away and have a few coming in the spring

Blushing Blue

Astral Bliss

Strawberry Parfait

Effervesence

Goldbrook Glimmer

Biscuits N Honey

Anna Lindh

Stephen King

Jack Berry

Holar Purple Flash

Unruly Child

Marilyn Monroe

Goodness Gracious

I guess that few totals 13. I'm superstitious so I better find at least one more ; ) Oh wait, I forgot about Country Sun Drop. Better quit, Christmas is coming. Wonder if the grandkids like hostas.

I have an order ready to go for spring. My first order from Northern Grown Perennials will be (I'm sure this list will grow a bit):

FROSTED JADE

GARDEN PARTY

GEISHA

FROST GIANT

GREEN PIECRUST

BRUTUS

STRIPTEASE

GOLS STANDARD

GOLD REGAL

LEOLA FRAIM

FAITH so far...

P.S. anyone who reads this: Opinions on these if you own any? I know Striptease, Gold Standard are classics, but are any of the lesser-known ones grown by forum members? Thanks.

Don - Geisha is a small but sturdy plant. Mine was mowed down by the rabbits continuously all spring/early summer.... by later in the summer I had solved (hopefully permanently) the rabbit problem in my yard, and Geisha came back beautifully. I can't wait to see what it does if it actually has a season of undisturbed growth. Also, mine is in quite a bit of sun, but didn't seem to look burned.

Also - Gold Regal is a strong grower, and beautiful!

Don-my youngest daughter is named Jada so I am interested to hear what you have to say about Frosted Jade.

FROSTED JADE - Beautiful in shade, looks like hell in sun

GARDEN PARTY - leave room, mines about 4 ft tall, awesome

GEISHA - meh

FROST GIANT - meh, sold it

GREEN PIECRUST - love it.....slooooow

BRUTUS - awesome

STRIPTEASE - standard, grows like a weed

GOLD STANDARD - meh, looks good for about 3 weeks then blah

GOLD REGAL - meh....get Rascal instead

LEOLA FRAIM - meh....get Garden Treasure instead

FAITH - awesome, takes sun, glows yellow

Been on a little Hosta Hiatus so I just put my order in. Last year I ordered the day the catalog came out. This year I didn't even notice. Still plenty of interesting Hosta out there without stressing about getting the super limited ones.
Diamond Lake
Etched Glass
Eye of the Dragon
Fragrant Queen
Glad Rags
Mango Tango
Midnight Oil
Paisley Border
Sapphire Pillows
Silver Sheen
Skywriter
Sultans of Swing
Temptation
Tequila Sunrise
Victor

I looked at Jack Berry, but for some reason it doesn't excite me. Guess I've had my fill of blues with red pets reaching into the leaf and now I'm just waiting for the outright purple Hosta.

Thank you Windymess and Mikgag for the info!

Don, Gold Regal disappointed me...I bought it three years ago because is was described as similar in stature to Krossa Regal, but it came never near it...if it is not growing better next summer it will have to make room for others...

Frosted Jade had problems last year, I hope it gets better...

I like little Geisha, got it in spring and it did well during our very hot and dry summer

Striptease...the only one with HVX so far in my garden, dumped it two years ago...

Gold Standard...gave it to a friend, it was not so nice as I thought it would be...

Don, Frost Giant grows well but slowly for me over the last four years here in the UK.

Maybe it likes our generally cooler climes

Love Song, Gretchen’s Grace (thanks to Karin’s pictures) Annabelle Lee

are my online purchases.

I have a long list with plants I want to get at a nursery my husband is going to take me in Spring.

Good choices Claudia. I got a good-sized Love Song last year from Naylor Creek. I can't wait to see those long leaves emerge next spring. Annabelle Lee has been on my list, but just can't seem to find it when I'm buying. Gretchen's Grace will be added to my list now that I've seen it, lol. I did admire Gretchen's Rainbow in Holland last year, but couldn't bring it home.
