June Fever, June Spirit, Autumn Frost, Devon Green, Cup of Grace, Paradise Joyce, Tea Time, May….many more and all wonderful.

I forgot Remember Me

I thought June Fever and June Spirit were determined to NOT be sports of June. I've been impressed with my young Stand By Me. A little similar to June, but streakier with a different plant shape/habit.

Ripple Effect and Gravity Rocks look really different and remarkable. My GR is still young and not the best grower.

Frost, Doggy paws and being moved this spring were not helpful.

Nice Stand By Me!

I think of the Halcyon family tree as including the Devon Green branch. They all grow so well in my zone.

Lots of great suggestions; thank you both!

Devon Green, May, and Remember Me are particularly appealing. Thanks to utog's prompt I also found Silver Shadow. I'll ponder on these a while.

OH, that's all it is. June Fever was a sport from Devon Green so its still in the Halcyon Family. Ironically not in the June branch. Ayesha is another sport from June Fever like June Spirit as is Justine. I'm not really sure of the difference even though I grow them both. Guess I'll go take a look.

I do like Devon Green a lot and I'm beginning to appreciate (and understand, lol) its sports better.

May (and the look-alike English Sunrise) are excellent choices.

Silver Shadow (and/or Lucky Number) made it into my cart the last couple years but didn't make the final cut. Perhaps I need to see some more examples.

Remember Me has been tricky to grow for some people.

High Society is another nice June sport.

still emerging in April - probably time to get a better pic.

Steve,

High Society does well for me, too

Devon Green in sunlight photo. It is dark green and shiny.

Silver Shadow (slow, but glossier than Francee),

Blue Ivory (today, rough year),

and Paradise Joyce, whose variegation develops throughout the season.

Since you are only looking for one more and want something different than what you have and don't seem to like Ripple Effect/Gravity Rocks, I'd probably go with May and Lucky Number (like Silver Shadow but slightly wider margin and rounder leaves but still shiny like Devon Green). Who only adds one more Hosta to an order, lol. Although Ben Vernooij is (another) favorite of mine. It can look similar to Blue Ivory later when grown in a little sun. I had to go back to August 2017 for this pic. I moved it into more shade in 2019 and didn't take any late pics the previous year.

But early season and in more shade it is glorious.

I just discovered this one is a sport of June Fever and in the Halcyon Family. So, instead of May you might want to go with this frosty, pastel, subtle variegation Apple Candy

Good luck with your choices and let us know what you go with (and show us pictures, lots of pictures).

Steve, yeah, limiting to just one might be a problem, especially with all the enablers here. :)

And nothing against Ripple Effect or Gravity Rocks, I'm just thinking the typical Halcyon form and size would work well in a new pot I just purchased.

Apple Candy looks like another great option.

You can’t go wrong with June, Blue Ivory or First Frost. Don’t think any one posted First Frost…..

debra

Picked up a halcyon in bloom for crossing with bloodlne.

also got a couple of bulletproof. boy those leaves are thick.

Could someone clarify what the first two are in Steve Duggins post (21 days ago) are?

Are they Ben Vernooij? They are lovely. I really like the leaf shape.

Yes, Ben Vernooij at two different times of the year in two different locations, same plant, different years. The first with more sun.

Which reminds me, I should be sure to get a pic of BV in August this year (pic from Aug. 1st 2021).
