Older yellow hosta ID/ catalog

last year

Anyone has old catalogs or something that is searchable? I have one hostas that still NOID even that it large and reasonably mature. Am pretty sure it is older variety.
All I am seeing are new varieties that are being offered.

Mikgag, would you be able to post your Stardust recent pic?

You are right petioles have reddish base not the legs are red. Debra, am pretty sure it is not fragrant group.

Babka, lol. I went to Don Rawson list. I suppose I can try to figure out which ones were never produced in large quantities and see what is left.

Hosta color fades as summer goes, I do not know if I call it viridiscent as it goes more dull yellow.

Sea Fire has reddish legs, mine is plain. Does anyone has hosta Stardust by chance? It has been suggested on hosta ID forum.

I have Stardust…thats not it

Sea Fire doesnt have red legs.

If I was to guess again it would be Blaze of Glory…

Blaze of Glory in the HL shows a glaucous bloom on the underside.

Check Don Rawson's list at the HL. Yikes, there are a LOT.

Lindalana- Yours is so bright yellow, not sure I've ever seen one so yellow!

I think you may have to wait for the flower…..if it’s fragrant, then Fried Bananas.

Do you remember where you might have purchased it? Stardust is described in the 2011 Wade catalog as having moderate growth rate. Leaves are 13" long and 9"wide. Yellow-gold with a slightly rippled margin, slightly shiny on top and dull underneath- Flowers are 0.75" bell-shaped and near white on 32" bloom scapes. I think that I got one from there but I don't have

my records for my early years in hostas. It was hybridized by Dick Ward in 1998. Wade and Gatton had lots of Ward plants since Mansfield (Wade and Gatton) and the Columbus area

are quite close.

Miles, I am pretty sure I got it from Q&Z. Had a buddy with account, somewhere around 2011 they did sell both Templar Gold and Stardust but sales were not great so no repeat production. I got some interesting plants from them...There might be another person that has Winfield Mist or maybe just me lol. Never seen it again. Cute hosta too.

My hosta is starting changing to chartreuse about now.
