still have dial up so this page only has small photos!)
(Avent,
1998) "Destined to be one of the truly great Hostas". Leaves have dark
green centers w/ light golden margins & are somewhat twisted & widen w/
age. This will become a BIG Hosta! Takes lots of sun. The clump emerges
green then the edges appear. 30" Scapes. Rhizomatous; moderate to fast
growth rate. 
Medium
green leaves, 16"x11". A 48" Scape, bare and straight displays fertile,
white, funnel-shaped flowers. Superb Hosta. This is (eventually) a very
big plant with a graceful drooping habit which does indeed give it
elegance. The leaves are heavily textured and cordate. A great
background specimen for variegated Hostas. (Shaw, '86) 
A
Frances Williams cross. Large, heavily corrugated green leaves w/ a
creamy white edge. Very leafy 32" Scapes look like a Christmas tree.
Looks super all season & the black seed pods look good in flower
arrangements. Pale, lavender white blooms. One of the best cream edge H.
sieboldianas. Not for containers. Prefers 1/3 to full shade. 
Early,
the oval/heart shaped leaves are creamy yellow w/ a crisp, green margin.
There may be green streaks into the yellow center. By June, the leaves
have turned green. Fairly large, dome-shaped plant. Floliferous 38"
Scapes. SUPERB! Takes up to 3/4 sun. 
Slightly
rugose gray-green leaves w/ a VERY fine white line on the edge - not
variegated, just a white edge creeping up from leaves that are whitish
gray below. Good funnel-shaped violet flowers well above the foliage.
Good container plant. Mostly infertile. The BEST flowering form of the 'fortunei'
Hostas. Has a violet cast to the leaves & Scape from it's probably H.
nigrescens parentage. Superb, superb Hosta! 
Good,
textured heart-shaped 9" x 7"bluish green leaves, medium to large w/ a
wide creamy yellow edge. A good increaser that appears more resistant to
SLUGS than some. Useful for large areas. RAPID grower! 42" tall Scape.
Takes 3/4 sun. Fertile flowers early in the season. Gorgeous with Arum
italicum 'Pictum' or Solomon's Seal. 
The
heart-shaped leaves emerge green but gradually change to gold with green
edge. If well grown & sited this is ONE OF THE BEST HOSTAS EVER
INTRODUCED! It needs dappled light -- too much sun makes it whiten; in
full shade, the gold does not develop. Always near the top of the
popularity poll. Vigorous. 42" Scapes. 
A
band of gold wraps the edge of each heart shaped, 4" x 2.5" green leaf
on this small Hosta. A rapid grower, it soon reaches maturity. Great
along the edge of a garden. 32" bare Scapes. AHS Award Winner & Top 10
Poll. This outstanding Hosta hybrid was responsible for revolutionizing
the small/medium Hosta world. 
if moist
12"
x 9" blue-green leaf with white margins, heavily textured. 26" Scape
with leaves produces fertile, lavender, funnel-shaped flowers. Takes a
lot of sun. The heart-shaped leaves have a textured surface. Introduced
by Paul Aden in 1986. Fairly new & quite eye-catching. Will take a great
deal of sun with lots of watering. 
Solberg
1994. Possibly the most exciting Hosta to hit the trade in years.
A reverse variegated sport of Hosta 'Fragrant Bouquet' with the same
near-white fragrant blooms that are huge. Grows vigorously to 48"
wide. Leaves are greenish-gold with a wide green edge and it a
show stopper!
The
all green cousin of the Tiara series, Golden Tiara, Golden Scepter,
Diamond Tiara. The all green Hostas are what makes the variegated
ones pop out in the Landscape. 
A
variable species from Japan. Narrow, arching green leaves with very
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT WHITE FLOWERS (occasionally lightly suffused with
purple in the middle of the lobe), equally distinct flower buds. This
species is seldom available to the public. Takes a great deal of sun. 
Recently
discovered in Korea, this species was selling for $200.00 in 1996!
Our clone was selected by Hosta expert George Schmid. The undulation on
its long strapping, glossy leaves alone make this species very
desirable. It forms a large display very quickly & produces many stems
of spider-like, violet flowers on 36" Scapes. This is an extraordinary
Hosta.
7"
x 5", veined, viridescent yellow (yellow turning to green) leaves with a
white margin. Scape is 28" and foliated. A mutation from H. 'Gold
Standard'. Time the color of flowers blooming near it to coordinate with
the period when the leaf is yellow & when it is green. 
A
form of H. 'Krossa Regal' with a whitish to yellowish, variable width
margin which is wavy-undulate. 44" flower Scape. Slow in the early years
but eventually an excellent large, vase-shaped specimen w/ grayish blue
leaves & creamy margins. A very distinctive Hosta, destined to become a
classic.. Was $24.99 Qt. last year! 
The
first Hosta to receive the Alex J. Summers Distinguished Merit Hosta
Award. Small, veined, blue-green leaf. A PROFUSION of pale, lavender
flowers on 36" Scapes that just keep coming over a dense mound of
foliage. Another oldie-but-goodie... one of the best all-purpose Hostas,
especially for edging. 
Hear-shaped
light gray-green leaves that are edged in a wide border in spring that
starts out creamy yellow with gray-green streaks and become almost
iridescent, creamy-white by summer. This strong grower is topped
with 20" tall scapes of light lavender flowers in midsummer. A
'Flamboyant' hybrid.
A
venusta-like selection originally grown from seed by Arrowhead Alpines
with green, heart-shaped leaves and Purple flowers. Just the thing
to tuck in tiny places. Wonderful in a rock garden or trough.
Will spread to great widths, even 30".
For a good fragrant
Hosta, the cost conscious classic is hard to beat. Excellent glossy, dark green foliage. Not as pretty a flower as H.
plantaginea, but still fabulous and it doesn't come up as early (& get frost damage) nor does it need as much careful sun to flower. Tons & tons of flowers on 36"
Scapes. The first ever patented Hosta. 
A smaller
Hosta with 5" x 4", veined, blue-green, non-variegated, cordate, textured leaves. Flower
Scape 16", bare & straight, supports white bell-shaped flowers. The white flower with blue or blue green leaves is always a stunning combination in
Hostas. AKA
H. 'Blue Swarm'. 
Fountain-like,
viridescent (yellow turning green) center, an irregular margin light & dark green, oval lanceolate leaves. 36" foliated
Scapes. Generally unavailable.. PEST RESISTANT. Near white, striped purple horned shaped flowers look light blue.
LONG BLOOMER! Fertile. 
Thompson
1991 An interesting mutation of Hosta 'Gold Standard' with a dark green
leaf quite like a H. fortunei but with a pattern of gold and white in the
middle of each leaf and a then, beside the gold band is a narrow white
band where it joins the greens. This band often is seen until the
plant has some age. Violet blooms in summer on 24" tall Scapes.
A fertile 'Honeybell' mutation, with a large medium green, STREAKY WHITE, oval, flat leaf. The tall, foliated
Scapes stand 2 feet above the foliage & display medium, funnel-shaped, FRAGRANT, lavender flowers. This marvelous
Hosta was obtained from a
collector. A PRIZE! 
Small, erect plant with really wavy, twisted medium green leaves. With a 12"
Scape, purple flowers appear to sit on top of the wavy foliage. Fertile. 
Hanson
1999 Tetraploid sport of Hosta 'June' (which came from 'Halcyon') so
the blue is true dusty blue on the outside with a chartreuse-gold center
and double thick leaves. Light lavender blooms. Slow to medium
but worth waiting for.
Brought to this country in 1875 by Thomas Hogg. (Sold previously under his name.) This white margined
Hosta, w/ elongated, heart-shaped leaves, is 'stable' & rarely reverts to green. Multiplies rapidly. Sterile. May sprout green leaves. Our 'Best Buy'
Hosta. 
A green center with wide golden margins in the spring which later fades to to a yellowish white. Textured leaves. Introduced by ALAN BLOOM nursery. Multiple award winner. One of the best yellowish white-margined
Hostas for
specimen plantings. Supply very limited. 
Ground-cover
Hosta w/ narrow, upright leaves & white margins. Charming Hosta forms neat mounds of upright, lance-shaped leaves. Vigorous. 24"
Scape. Funnel shaped, purple striped, pale mauve flowers. Does not have the same tight ball root system you may be used to -- it's slightly stoloniferous 
This low, wide classic
Hosta produces magnificent specimen plants. Each puckered leaf boasts a bold blue-green center surrounded by a WIDE, irregular, creamy white margin which gradually changes to golden-yellow during the season & widen w/ age. Vigorous. 
(J. & J.
Wilkins, 1995) From a past AHS President's breeding program.
A Medium Hosta with glossy blue lance shaped leaves to 10" long edged in
1 1/2" wide gold margins; leaves slightly wavy. Rapid grower.
Lavender blooms in August over a mound of arching foliage.
