Happy Hosta Sales

To Liz, who is currently at Bartle. Please message me. I have something for you.

Now that we have moved the plants from in front of the grow beds things like Etched Glass, Get Nekkid, Lakeside Paisley Print, Golden Falls and about 20 other new ones are appearing from the grow beds

When you start to alphabetize it is amazing what you find. There will be addition to the list.

Getting ready for the sale. Hope to see you Friday and Saturday.

Sometimes we grow plants for what they do during certain parts of the year and First Blush is one of these plants. This small Hosta not only has red petioles (stems) that extend into the leaf blade but also a thin red margin around the leaf, similar but much more dramatic than its parent ‘Beet Salad’. The most exciting thing about ‘First Blush’ is that in spring the leaf between the veins will start to “blush” red from the tip of the leaf down toward the base. This year at mom’s some of the plants were almost completely red/maroon. The leaves remain red until temperatures surpass 92 degrees, usually into June. The color should persist longer in Northern gardens. Per Bob Solberg the originator of this plant, it needs some strong light (full sun) to turn red. These plants were part of the surprise order we just got from Bob. So while they are not Originator Stock (OS). It is about as close as you can get.
