hosta are water hogs.. and benefit greatly from mulch ...

hold off planting fer a week ... i have more to share.. but dont have time right now ... you need to be able to estimate ultimate size ... before you go jamming them in ... unless you just want to move them again in a year or two .....

once you get a name.. look them up here .. to see potential size: http://www.hostalibrary.org/

third looks like striptease .... 4th maybe gold standard ...

they will benefit greatly from mulch ..

you need better media in a pot ... if you plan on leaving it in the pot long term ...

If you are new to hostas, welcome to the forum! I must say the group of people that hang out here are a wealth of information on all things hosta. Also the Hosta Library, the link Ken gave you, is full of information, not just photos, but articles, lists that can help you find hostas that you are looking to find, such as sun tolerant hostas. Play around with the site.

btw, I concur with Ken.

First might be Fragrant Queen. You will know when it blooms if it is or is not.

My guesses are:

1,2 Sorry, no idea.

3,4 Striptease

5,6 Gold Standard or Orange Marmalade

7 Ginko Craig maybe. So many are similar.

In really like #1--no idea what it is but I do like it. I've been looking at Giantland Karma which has similar colors but the leaves of GK look rounder and larger. Anyone grow that one?
