Hosta S 2025 ............................................

It is February 2 and 21 degrees in Florida. Let's see what that Yankee furball has to say today. The South will heat up again.


S day in the hosta world, a very busy day.







That is me.





Here are the guys now. 1 month old and growing fast.


That Yankee furball just called for 6 more weeks of winter. Not this cold, I hope.


Show your Ss today to keep us warm.

    the husband helping with the potatoes 😂..

    my husband bought a 10 pound bag of potatoes instead of the 5 pound bag I wanted..I sorted them to bake the similar sized ones together..the bag had 28 potatoes!..quite a few for 2 people..

    Saija..Stag's Leap is pretty..

    I have 6 Ss..I have a Striptease tag..the hosta was plain green when I bought it..I didn't know it shouldn't be..

    not sure where Sharmon is..I have lots of hostas that look like Sharmon..

    So Sweet..this is another one that resembles lots of others..Sharmon and So Sweet could be in this picture..it's hard to tell..June 13 2025..


    Seducer..at the top..


    Sum and Substance left of the arbor..Sunpower isn't doing well..the chartreuse near the bottom right corner..

    Laurie..I planned to take individual shots of my noid green and white hostas (actually all of my noids)..didn't do it 🤦‍♀️..maybe in 2026..

    I like Smoke Signals..

    Saija, you have so many beauties ===> my favs are Smiling Mouse and Super Nova.

    Ann, you’re so funny, “not sure where Sharmon is and So Sweet could be in this picture…..” 😜

    You have a nice Seducer and great looking S&S.
    Laurie, you also have quite a collection of Ss. My favs are Shiny Sonata, Silver Bay (can’t wait until mine looks like yours) and
    Sting….

    Ben, Snake Eyes is a good looker!

    debra and mbug..you both have so many Ss!!..

    if only my Striptease was marked properly..it never looked like a Striptease 🙄..

    debra..if my So Sweet bloomed as beautifully I would've noticed it!..

    mbug..Stand by Me is pretty..it reminds me of a hosta that I've admired and don't own but I can't remember the name..I'll come back if I figure it out..

    I looked in a catalogue..Touch of Class might be the one I was thinking of..

  • 8 days ago

    Saija, your Seducer is a stand out.


    Ann, when I have extra potatoes I make mashed potatoes and freeze in portions. Your woodland setting is so beautiful!


    Laurie, your Sagae looks huge and what pretty flowers Sting makes!


    Ben and mbug, I like both your Snake Eyes.


    Debra, I like your Sting, too.

    sandyslopes..thank you!..I love living in a woodland..I'm excited that it won't be long until our plants return..

    you have a great S collection too!..Slim and Trim is adorable..it's a new one to me..

    a good suggestion to make mashed potatoes..I haven't tried freezing them..I've been baking them..I'm down to 9 potatoes..I saved the biggest ones for last..the potatoes have been great during these cold winter days..my sister told me potatoes have more potassium than bananas!..

    Beth.."I do have a few" is an understatement!..I noticed Salute, Spartacus and Skywriter..I like the one left of Skywriter too..

  • 8 days ago

    So many nice S's. I'm thinking S has to be the most popular letter, I know it is for me.

    Everyone's hostas are looking so good. This summer I am not letting my g-nephew take my photos. I am lost. I know the ones I took. But I am having a hard time with his.


    Here are a few of my Ss.


    Sum and Substance



    Sun Hosta Hosta A hosta so good they named it Hosta twice



    Sun Power and her weeds

    old_dirt..yesterday someone I know had problems here too..this site is dysfunctional..

    I agree..the S post is loaded!..

    "decorated by birds" 😝..once a hawk landed on a branch above me and was ripping something apart..a bloody piece landed on a big Sum and Substance leaf and slid off leaving a red streak..after the hawk left I rinsed it off with a watering can..I didn't think to take a pic..not sure if it would be interesting or gross?..

    Paula..I'm the only photographer here..but I still struggle!..I bet he got some good shots!..

  • 8 days ago

    Sandyslopes, love Silk Kimono and Sultans of Swing….. am a sucker for rippled leaves!

    Beth, you have so many! My favs are Seducer, Sharp Dressed Man, Stag’s Leap and Spartacus.

    Old_dirt (Lisa?), I love Sharp Dressed Man and Home Sweet Chicago. SHC just has such great color contrast.

    Paula, Sum and Substance is getting big! Never heard of Sun hosta Hosta, but it’s pretty.

    My pretty Sun Power:



  • 8 days ago

    debra, I'm Lisa / Sandyslopes. I think old_dirt is Jerry?


    I would like a Sharp Dressed Man, but I haven't seen it for sale anywhere that I usually shop online or in the nurseries. It's a good looking hosta.


    Nice to see Sun Powers here. Mine used to burn so easily when the sun hit it!

  • 7 days ago

    Wow Ben that is one good looking Snake Eyes.

    Debra So Sweet & Snow Mouse are terrific. It won't take long for your Silver Bay, it is such a great one.

    mbug so many beauties but Shimmy Shake, Sky Dancer, Stir it Up & SBS really caught my eye.

    Lisa I adore Silk Kimono. Slim and Trim & Sultans of Swing are standouts. I had Silver Shadow and it petered out. Happy to see another Smoke Signals.

    Beth School Mouse is a cutie. Sharp Dressed Man, Stormy Seas, & Sugar Plum look great. I am having trouble enlarging pics today. 1 out of 5 worked.

    old_dirt S does seem to be the most popular letter. Another great SDM. Sugar and Spice, Secret Love, Sunlight Child & Surfer Girl are great.

    Paula your S's are terrific. Sun Hosta Hosta lol looks great and so does the screaming yellow to the right of it. Which one is that? What a great looking Sun Power.

    party_music50 very nice to have you join in. What a beautiful Sun Power and combo shot.




  • 7 days ago

    Laurie. I do believe that to be Zounds. Great hot yellow for a long time. Also, pretty nice but has a tend to gossip.

  • 7 days ago

    Lol Paula I want to see that gorgeous gossip again in a week or so!

  • 7 days ago

    NW....Stand by me is a small June sport like TOC. You have a good eye!
