| 'Bud Lite' | (D. Beilstein and F. Rogers 2017) ('Neat Splash' x 'Rising Sun') x ('Grand Slam' x OP) Medium, (18"X28") Shiny, medium green leaves have speckled purple petioles, but it is the late blooming spectacular purple scapes and flower bracts that make this hosta so special.

A riot of color in a container. | $20.00 |  | |
| 'First Blush'PP28,920 | (Solberg 2015) (48/49 seedling X 'Beet Salad') Medium, (12" X 24") 'First Blush' not only has green leaves with red petioles 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'. However, 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. The leaves remain red here until temperatures surpass 92 degrees, usually into June. The color should persist longer in Northern gardens. Our first red-leafed hosta. | $30.00 |  | |

| (Solberg 2011) ('Rhapsody in Blue' x H. plantaginea) Large, (16" x 32") Glossy leaves that are very thick, slightly rippled and twisted create a mound like habit. However, it is the very attractive purple striped flowers that are also fragrant that make this hosta special. | $25.00 |  | |

At maturity the leaves become rounded and somewhat puckered with a dark green leaf center and a honey-colored margin. Like its parent it is sun tolerant and grows rapidly. | $20.00 |  | |
| 'Honey Pie'
| (Solberg 2012) ('September Sun' X H. plantaginea) Large, (18" X 40") This may have been my favorite hosta this summer. Despite all the heat, boy did it grow. The honey colored leaves pucker with age and fragrant flowers follow in late summer. It is a large hosta, a cross of 'September Sun' and H. plantaginea, having the best characteristics of both parents. Give this one a little extra sun also. | $20.00 |  | |

The leaves can be cupped up to really show off the red as it saturates the midrib sometimes to near the middle of the leaf. The cupping is a new leaf shape for this line of breeding with some puckers thrown in here and there. In mid-summer a very dark purple scape emerges with pretty purple striped flowers in a tight mass. A great breeder, too. | $35.00 |  | |
| 'Let's Twist Again' | (D. Van Eechaute) (Sport of 'Patriot') Medium, (10" X 24") Danny has done it again. One of the greatest hosta sport fishermen worldwide, he has recently introduced this very curly sport of believe it or not, 'Patriot'.

| (Solberg 2017) (Sport of 'Sun Shower' X 'Designer Genes' seedling) Medium, (14" X 30") Yes, I love this very special hosta. It is a cross of my 'Sun Shower' and 'Designer Genes' that sported right away from an all yellow plant to one with a green edge. Having H. longipes and H. sieboldiana genes, in many ways it is like 'June' but more robust. In addition, it also has red petioles and pinkish purple scapes.

| 'Mojito' | (M. Zilis 2009) (Sport of 'Avocado') Large, (20" x 44") This classic, tetraploid sport of 'Fried Green Tomatoes' has thick, dark green leaves that make a dense, compact clump. But it is the large fragrant flowers on heavy scapes that is its greatest appeal. | $15.00 |  | |

| 'Road Rage' | (D. & M. Beilstein 2018) ('King of Spades' seedling) Medium, (15" X 27") Some may say this is an ugly hosta, but most of us think it only weird, and weird is good, in this case very good. 'Road Rage' moves 'Leapin' Lizard' a little farther up the road. It has variable green leaves that are puckered but have extra ridges that protrude upward. Yes, weird! It is medium in size and seems to grow very well. From Doug Beilstein, it is certainly a conversation starter. | $25.00 |  | |
| 'Rowan My Boat' | (D. & M. Beilstein 2018) (['Butternut Hill' X 'Azure Snow' seedling] X 'Treasure Island') Medium, (14" X 31") Here is another one of Doug Beilstein's excellent very blue hostas with an unusual leaf shape.

Bob Fox is known for his huge blue seedlings and this is one of the biggest, waist high and almost seven feet across. But it is those huge ruffled round leaves with deep veining that give it its attitude. A cross of 'Komodo Dragon' and 'Powder Blue', yes, it is a true monster. | $30.00 |  | |

Zilis) (Sport of 'Orange Marmalade'PP16,742) Medium, (14" X 30") This sport of 'Orange Marmalade'PP16,742 has a much wider blue-green margin than its parent indicating that it is probably tetraploid and will grow a little better. The leaf center is still bright yellow in the spring, turning orange, and then white as the season progresses. Certainly, a winner. | $25.00 |  | |

| 'Sunny Day'
| (Solberg 2019) ([48/49 seedling X 'Key West'] X 48/49 seedling) Medium (14" X 24") 'Sunny Day', chasing all the clouds away… this is a very happy hosta! It is also this hybridizer's fantasy. It is the result of a backcross of a 'Tom Terrific' sibling back to its purple-petioled parent. The result is a very upright medium-sized hosta with the vibrant yellow color of 'Key West' and rich purple petioles up into the leaf blade. I rushed this one to you, it is that good. | $30.00 |  | |
