Is this Jack of Diamonds???

6 years ago

I bought several of these hostas years ago, before I started to want to collect. During the winter ABCs, I saw other Jacks and wondered if once again I had purchased a mislabeled plant. Though it was purchased from a reputable garden center, I know mistakes happen.

I apologize for posting so much recently, but I really have the hosta bug bad!! :-D

Here's a pic of my Jack of Diamonds unfurling for the year. The colors are more like blue center, green margin and more muted..... however, I'm not sure how helpful this is because the color difference may be caused by mine being in more shade than yours. Do you remember what yours was originally labeled?

Djacobz, most of us had that enthusiasm when we were first hooked on hosta. I spent an inordinate amount of time on photographing, looking for new varieties, watering and commenting on the forums. Enjoy it.

Thank you everyone for encouraging me! This hosta was labeled Jack of Diamonds when I bought it from a reputable garden center here in the Milwaukee area. Oh well, another mystery!
