This is my last noid and I’d like to add it to the alphabet : )

It was purchased as a mini years ago, and has filled out nicely. The leaves are small as you can see when comparing to the peony leaves.

Any ideas?

    Dj it looks similar just not the right leaf size, thanks!

    Peren, after searching pics I found they bloom approx mid July. The leaves seem to be on the thinner side?


    The flowers are wimpy/tiny lavender and I usually cut them off as they look weedy to me.


    Here is the best pic I could find. Sorry it’s not a good shot, but it shows how tiny the blooms are!

    How about Little Wonder? It is a mini. It grows about two feet wide.

    Could it be Golden Tiara? The size would be about correct.

    Well, it's a common leaf shape and color, so will take some sleuthing to get a good answer (looks like a So Sweet, but too small). How long have you had it? Where did you buy it? What do the flowers look like?

    It might be Diamond Tiara?

    I had looked at all of the above but with the pale lavender flowers.....My first reaction was Little Wonder or one of the Tiara. Some of the Lakesides have those small flowers but there are just so many to look through.

    it doesnt strike me as the right leaf shape for the tiara clan ...


    and its not a gold edge... so i guess i would rule out golden tiara ...

    GardenHo I went through all the Lakeside and the only one that comes close is Lakeside Miss Muffet.

    Are you familiar with this site http://www.pwk.resteddoginn.ca/compare_hl.php ?

    I would never suggest trying to find yours by going through the listings but it is invaluable for checking out suggestions.

    So my daughter told me there was a surprise for me when I got home.

    To my (big) surprise, laying on the dining room table was the tag for this hosta!

    She knew I was trying to ID it and she took the time to go through ALL of my old tags and found it!! What a sweetheart! I can’t believe I saved it, as back then I never thought to save them.

    So the hosta is....‘Chi Town Classic’

    Thank you all for your Help in trying to solve this mystery....and a big thanks to my sweet daughter : )

    Wonderful that she found the tag because that would have been a difficult one to guess.

    I agree Sandy... It amazes me how many different varieties of hostas there are....

    And how good you all are at identifying them!

  • 6 years ago

    Yay to your daughter for finding the tag!!

  • 6 years ago

    What a great daughter! Now you can add it to the C's. There are so many.... unless someone had it we may never have got there. Mystery solved!
