These Great Plant Specials have become very popular
with our customers. The plants are not just a bunch of leftovers that
we couldn’t sell, we select some of our most popular varieties and
grow them in large numbers just for these specials. It’s a great deal
for our customers, and, by growing them in large quantities and
selling them in sets of three, we reduce our handling costs
significantly, so we both benefit. more Hostas

401900 Hosta 'Antioch’
- 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $15.90.
We like ‘Antioch’ because it has an informal look to it, large pointed
leaves that arch nearly to the ground, with wide, irregular margins of
creamy white. Each leaf is different, and a mature clump is really
beautiful. It has won multiple awards from the Hosta Society, and going
back through our copies of the Journal, we could not find a year when it
wasn’t ranked highly on the popularity poll, right up there with all the
expensive new introductions. |

404800 Hosta 'Blue
Angel’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $19.90
There are a great many large blue cultivars, some say too many. This one
has large, heart-shaped leaves, not puckered but nicely veined. Flowers
are white. It is probably of sieboldiana
lineage, but seems to be faster growing and less crinkled than most of
the sieboldiana hybrids. It also
seems to get larger than most. |

'Emerald Tiara’ - 3 plants
Add

A reversed form of ‘Golden Tiara’, leaves are gold centered with green
margins. Mix this one with ‘Golden Tiara’ for a very interesting ground
cover for the shade. Purple flowers. |

418100 Hosta 'Francee’
- 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $13.90
To read a short catalog description, you might think that ‘Antioch’ and
‘Francee’ were pretty much the same - green fortunei types with white
variegation. But they are totally different (well, as totally as two
similar plants can be). ‘Francee’ is more upright and symmetrical, the
leaves darker green with a neat, narrow white edge, a more formal and
elegant plant. Like ‘Antioch’ it always rates highly on the popularity
poll. |

Edger’ - 3 plants

Forms a small, neat, dense mound of heart-shaped chartreuse to gold
leaves. Lavender flowers. Multiplies rapidly, excellent for ground cover
or edging. |

420300 Hosta 'Gold
Standard’ - 3 plants Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $13.90
‘Gold Standard’ starts the season in a deceptively plain fashion,
emerging in spring with medium green leaves. But it soon begins to
develop a beautiful mound of brightly variegated foliage as all but the
margins of the leaf turn to gold. ‘Gold Standard’ is a fortunei type,
vigorous and fast to multiply. It forms a medium size mound. |

421200 Hosta
'Golden Tiara’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $11.90
Forms a neat mound of heart-shaped, medium green leaves with a yellow
edge. A very vigorous grower, it’s excellent for edging or as a ground
cover. Purple flowers. |

421900 Hosta 'Grand
Tiara’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $19.90
A sport from ‘Golden Tiara’, the leaf is a bit larger and has more
substance. The gold margin is much wider, sometimes so wide that it
gives the effect of a golden yellow leaf with a center splash of green.
The width of the margin varies with exposure and the season. |

423700 Hosta 'Halcyon’
- 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $19.90
We don’t think we’ve ever seen a Hosta with a more beautiful blue color
than this one, a chalky, powdery blue in spring, turning to a deep blue
in the summer, and holding up well in the fall after most Hostas have
turned to mush. The leaves are heart-shaped and heavily ribbed. They
arch and overlap, forming a neat, symmetrical mound topped by white
flowers This is definitely one of our favorite Hostas. |

429000 Hosta 'Krossa
Regal’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $15.90
Undulating, frosty blue-gray leaves, held upright and arching, form a
large, distinctively vase-shaped plant. Lavender flowers on spikes up to
5' tall. One of the best and most popular of all Hosta cultivars. |

437600 Hosta 'Night
before Christmas’ - 3 plants Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $19.90
This is a sport of ‘White Christmas’ with long, deep green leaves with a
white streak down the center. Much more vigorous than ‘White Christmas’
forming a medium to large mound with lavender flowers. The center fades
to light green in mid summer. |

fragrant flowers. |

449000 Hosta
sieboldiana 'Elegans’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $19.90
Many of today’s expensive blue leaved Hostas are hybrids or sports of
this beautiful specimen sized plant. It forms a huge mound of heavily
textured blue foliage, 4’ or more across. There are many hybrids and
sports of this plant selling for a lot more, but for the price, you
can’t beat it. This plant has been around for a long time and you might
find small variations among plants obtained from different growers. |

Sweet’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $19.90
Rounded, glossy green leaves have a wide, creamy-white margin. Recently
named “Hosta of the Year”, it forms a very pretty, upright clump with
fragrant white flowers. One of the best. |

460000 Hosta 'Wide
Brim’ - 3 plants
Add
to Cart
Quart Pots
- $15.90
Low and wide, with great color and texture, ‘Wide Brim’ is bound to be a
standout in any planting. Leaves are deep green, heavily puckered, with
very wide, irregular yellow to cream margins. Increases rapidly. Because
it doesn’t get very tall, it goes well in front of the larger blues.
Pale lavender flowers. |
