Isn't Sun Hosta that patented sport of So Sweet?

The newer leaves of my So Sweet are still yellow. The mature leaves are creamy.

Interesting......in the HL under So Sweet, it says Host Sun instead of hosta. But their is no listing for Host or Hosta Sun or Sun or Sun Hosta. Hmmmmmm, wonder what’s up with that? I assume just an oversight of some kind. The leaves on my 2 year So Sweet are also Creamy and the newer underneath leaves are yellower. It’s a lovely hosta.

I also tried to find the Hosta called SunHosta. This is what I found on line and it looks like the little hosta on the side. The bigger leafed side doesn't match so that is why I thought it might be a sport. I will leave it alone until next year and see what comes up.

I got this hosta in Texas during our vacation. My souveneers are rocks and plants. I collected 2 one gallon zip bags of rocks from the desert one year and the baggage checking people made me look at the screen to identify what that was in my bag. I told them it was rocks but they made me open the roll-on so they could see. I could tell they were not rock people because they shook their heads and gave my husband a "Poor You" face.

That link shows a hosta that looks like So Sweet. Very interesting......... :-)

Thank you, Frankielynnsie, for the laugh this morning--we all need one during these covid days. The rocks in your luggage got the best of me. I can so identify. My poor husband who is gone now was such a good sport about all of my gardening foibles. He probably shook his head when he learned that I preferred a hose reel or a garden spade instead of jewelry or lingerie.

sun hosta.. or whatever.. was just a marketing ploy a while back ... i didnt pay much more attention than that ...

if you moved it once this season ... its just gotten over that stress ... and is growing roots.. to store energy for next year ... evidenced by the new leaves ...

i would not restress it now ... by digging it up and dividing it .... hence.. i suggested you see what happens ... next year ...

the bigger leaves could be the better place its in.. better soil not under tree.. more light.. more water with no tree competition.. etc ...

How about Queen Josephine? Seems to me her immature version was strikingly different from the more mature version. My neighbor thought her plant was misidentified until the second or third year.

ken is right. Seems like Paula (alphabet queen) may have had one. Whomever it was, lived in Florida. I did some research on it when someone asked questions about it. It is not a registered hosta. It is patented as a sport of So Sweet. I don't think it was different enough from So Sweet to register. That was probably four or five years ago.

They had one at the Dallas Arboretum a few years back. I thought it was So Sweet until I saw the label.

So, assume it's So Sweet and treat it that way. That is what you can expect of it. So Sweet my favorite hosta.
