Hosta Green 2024 ...... ......

last year

Slept late!


Fun Fact: Pufferfish release a toxin when they puff out that is meant to impair the attacker, so they can safely escape. Ironically, this doesn’t work on dolphins in the same way. it actually gets them high. So, they purposely inflate them and pass them around to their dolphin friends for fun.



haha This does happen.




Show us your green hostas today.

Have a great day! I am headed back to winter.

    OMG the dolphin and that suitcase is hilarious!

    Very nice Ann! Yes clausa is on a mission to take over.

    Sherry I like SG very much!

    I am so fond of green.

    thanks Laurie 🙂..I forgot to mention it when debra said something like this to you.."Laurie your hostas look like they're taking over the world!"..true!..and you have so many blooms!..you sure know how to cover bare ground 👍sieboldiana is about as crazy as clausa..
    my Venusta for comparison..mine's darker..


    I didn't post Lancifolia or Royal Standard..just cover Laurie's with a few fingers to see how mine look 😜..

    Paula, love the puffer fish joke! can just see dolphins playing with them!

    so many greens here….. I didn’t think I had many, and some I con’t decide if they are green or blue! 🤨🧐

    here are my greens:

    Can’t wait for mine to grow up like laurie’s….


    hope this increases this year




    Oh my heart


    is it a blue or green?


    Krossa, is it blue or green?

    Thanks Ann. There are different forms of venusta and mine certainly does not look like yours.

    Very nice Beth.

    Debra nice ones. I found that Bridegroom took time to establish itself. I would say Halcyon & Krossa are blue as well as Cupatini which I forgot to post in the blues. I would say Sum and Substance is yellow but depends on exposure. I debated on sieboldiana being blue or green because it starts blue but spends most of the season green.

    Laurie..it seems to me that each hosta in their own setting does their own thing and has their own look lol..

    I have lots of NOID greens..I'm thankful for every hosta that was here but in my opinion I've planted the prettiest special ones..

    this would be interesting but I doubt if I ever accomplish it 😆..totals of greens, blues, golds, chartreuse, grn/wht etc in my garden..

    maybe someday we can do a post and hear other's totals..for fun not a competition..

    a few years ago after 1 case of HVX I inspected my hostas..decided why not count them..I had 504..I estimated clumps..I'd say that's at least 5, etc..if I counted clausa individually (don't remember what number I gave them) my 504 would be 1000!..
