    Do you have tags for these hostas or remember buying them?

    Your third picture looks like Harriet Ward…..the HL has it listed as large which yours appears to be. Some of HL pictures show more upright leaf structure, yours is heavily corrugated as is the HL hostas. Flower color can often help to ID or rule out a hosta.

    Your first one could be either or, but Yellow River being a montana sport has those thinner, cascading leaves. Yours appears wider, but there is one picture in the HL that shows bit wider leaf like yours. YR has a white flower on a tall scape. YR is also considered large.

    LS Shockwave is a smaller hosta it appears but the flowers are purple and rise just above the leaves. So your flowers can help you ID these two possibility.

    I hopes this helps!

    Thank you! It does help for other eyes to evaluate.

    I do operate from known bought hosta list.

    Harriet Ward was one of my biggest and oldest hostas.

    I hope I will find a garden which has it to compare.

    I did find other plants in my garden which are corresponding much better LS Shockwave and Yellow River.

    I have pictures from Bob Fox garden too.

    I still do not know what the second hosta might be.

    You know what I do sometimes??? I save the hosta abcs each year. I have gone back to look at posts from other peoples photos that do have the hosta.

    Your second picture is Delta Dawn in my opinion

    Oops, meant first picture. I keep thinking it is one of LS ones .

    Agree, it fits and I had both Delta Dawn and Delta Dawn Supreme. I have another one that also contender for Delta Dawn so next year I hope there will enough maturity to confirm.

    I went to another hosta gardens walk today but while both houses had great gardens with excellent designs and care they were no collectors of hostas so I had no chance see if anything looks like my noids.

    Debra, how do you save ABC?

    Lindalana, I create an idea book for each letter, a bit tedious. Then just hit the heart button that says save at the top of the post. It will ask where to save it and you put in the name of the ideabook. For example, Hosta C, or whatever. Then save it. I believe my ideabooks are viewable if you hit my handle photo. I believe they will all come up to view .

    First one looks similar to Brass Ring

    Old_dirt, it is a good guess! Do not have it on my list but entirely possible I got it and did not register. I made more pics.


    This one in reference to mature clump of JCC








    LS Ring Master, that I am missing, does anyone have it?

  • 2 years ago

    I don’t have it, but it certainly looks like LS Ring Master in my opinion.
