 Hostas come in a wide range of sizes and as you go through our listing you will see a letter in parenthesis after the name which denotes the height of the plant…the ledger below will help to convert this to inches.
** denotes new for 2010 |
 Baby Blue Eyes[mini/small] (Solberg) Very blue, heart-shaped leaves form a showy, flat clump with a tight growing habit. Great substance and lavender flowers on 8-10” scapes. Grows well and looks great |
 **Baby Doll [mini/small] (Van Eechaute) We are excited to bring you this beautiful little sport of H. ‘Blue Cadet’ from Danny Van Eechaute. Round blue-green leaves have a dark yellow center...looks like a miniature H. ‘June’ and will certainly draw attention in the garden.. Great substance and the clump will be topped with lavender flowers midsummer. |
 Barbara Ann[L] (Muntons Microplants) Nice H. sieboldiana ‘Elegans’ sport …beautiful wide white border surrounds a nicely rounded and corrugated blue leaf with great substance. Differs from H. ‘Northern Exposure. Topped with white flowers |
| Beckoning PP18371 [L] (Saville) A H. ‘Blue Angel’ sport with gold leaves framed by a wide blue-green border…variegation does not show until early summer and then intensifies slowly and is well defined by the end of the season. The huge heart-shaped leaves are somewhat cupped and topped with white flowers. |
 Bedazzled[S] (Don Dean) From Don Dean of Minnesota…makes a small clump of blue-green leaves framed by a wide yellow-gold margin which later changes to a dark green center and greenish yellow margin. Great substance and some cupping on slightly corrugated leaves that are topped with lavender flowers midsummer. |
| Bedford Blue [M] (Chrystal) This unique blue is from Europe and is a cross between H. hypoleuca and H. ‘Halcyon’…beautiful, pointed, chalky blue leaves are topped with lavender flowers. |
 **Bedford’s Rise and Shine [S] (Chrystal/Bond) Great smaller introduction from Great Britain with thick, shiny green leaves framed by a nice creamy-white border. Proving to be extremely vigorous and will be topped with lavender-purple flowers. Place in morning sun as this one will surely enjoy it (name was ’Rise and Shine’ in 2009). |
 Big Daddy[L] (Aden) Chalky-blue leaves are rounded, cupped and puckered at maturity…compact growing habit and looks great with gold plants. Topped with white flowers in late spring. Remains one of our favorites. |
| Bitsy Gold [mini] (Savory) Great little gold with very narrow and elongated leaves. Lavender flowers late. |
 Blue Angel[L] (Aden) Very large, heavy-textured blue-green leaves form a clump which commands attention...probably the largest “blue” grown. Evenly textured leaves and white flowers create a magnificent specimen. |
| **Blue Baron [S] (Deckert) Thick blue leaves form a smaller flat mound...the narrow leaves radiate from the center and are an intense blue. Excellent slug resistance and lavender flowers. |
 **Blue Cascade [M] (Carlson) Monty and Julie Carlson bring us an outstanding and beautiful blue that puts on a stunning display. Dense, medium-sized mound of extremely pie-crusted leaves are an intense blue color. The leaf tips twist outward creating the illusion of constant motion. Lavender flowers midsummer. |
| Blue Chip [S] (Benedict/Olson) Forms a charming petite clump of heart shaped blue leaves of good substance. Pale lavender flowers come very late in the season and are held quite close. |
| Blue Clown [S] (Benedict/Stratton) Wonderful blue hybrid created by Dr. Benedict from a selfed H. ‘Dorset Blue’ seedling. Thick leaves are an intense blue-green and form a dense mound topped with pale lavender flowers in July. |
| **Blue Dolphin [L] (Sawyer) Round, heart-shaped blue-green leaves have heavily impressed veins and are topped with pale lavender flowers. Will make a 3’ clump at maturity. |
 Blue Flame [M] (Naylor Creek Nursery) Variegated sport of H. ‘Fragrant Blue’…smooth heart-shaped leaves are medium blue-green and framed by a variable yellow border. Topped with near-white flowers. Although the parent is said to be fragrant we do not believe H. ‘Blue Flame’ to be fragrant. Possibly the same as H. ‘Secret Love’. |
| Blue Hawaii [L] (Petryszyn) Vigorous blue hosta with an upright habit that can reach 30” tall. Leaves are nicely corrugated, but flat, and hold their color well throughout the season. Topped with pure white flowers. |

 **Bonfire [M] (Fransen) This is the all green sport of H. ‘Paradise Island’...beautiful thick leaves are held on red petioles and the red reaches far into the leaf blade. Very limited and will probably only be available in 2010. |
Ever changing introduction from Jan Van den Top...**Boracay [M] (Van den Top) New sport from H. ‘Captain Kirk’ that constantly changes as the season progresses. Leaves emerge green and in about 2 weeks develop a green edge with a shadowy yellow center. Next, the center turns dark green and the border becomes white...then, the center turns white. Finally, the whole leaf becomes white with a green line that resembles H. ‘Tattoo’. |
 Border Favourite[S] (Jan van den Top) Unique sport of H. ‘Little Aurora’…thick round leaf is very dark green surrounded by a good yellow margin. |
 Boyz Toy [mini/small] (Scheer) Named for us “boyz” at Naylor Creek…emerges bright chartreuse with pointy little red leaf tips. As the red fades, the slightly glossy leaves turn bright yellow and in July the clump is topped with ultraviolet flowers. Leaves have good substance and the compact clump has a vigorous growth rate. Will tolerate more sun than most and colors up best with a few hours of direct sun. Clump will reach 6”x12” at maturity. |
 Brother Stefan [M/L] (Petryszyn) Beautiful gold leaves are framed by a wide medium green border. Good substance coupled with lots of corrugation creates exquisite texture. Topped with white flowers. |
