Thanks, I had already planned on doing that, but was ready to pour a bucket of disinfectant in the hole!

Hi, Is there any way to reliably test the soil for HVX? I have areas of my yard where I used to dump used soil. This was pre HVX knowledge. I now would like to plant hosta there, but not without finding if it has HVX in the soil. There aren't any hosta planted there now, but lots of bushes and flowe...

Thanks. I've been trying to find the info also.

Nice! Is it fertile?

Just starting to plant some seedlings. Life events have kept me from growing this past winter.
Thanks for everyone sharing their photos. I love looking!

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

Well at least it's one I don't already have! Yes, I think after I see it bloom I may have a better idea. Mixed up tags ... UGH :eek: . Seen it too many times. Nothing like finding a Pandora's box tag in a Sum and Substance! Nursery said it's so frustrating that people move around the labels. Saw a w...

Thanks, either way, I love it!
It has stiff-like leaves and the prettiest blue color. I will shoot pics of it next to some other blues to compare. The picture really doesn't do it justice.
I cannot wait to see it flower and see if it has good pollen or produces seed.

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to check those out to see if I ordered any of those. I do know that this came from Q&Z Nursery when it closed, just don't know why the label says Venetian Star unless it was mislabeled somehow. Will do some further investigation but appreciate all opinions. Thanks :D

Okay, I think I'm a bit confused. I bought Venetian Star at the end of last season. Since it was fall the leaves were already brown and shriveled. This is the prettiest blue with pointed leaves, but from what I know Venetian Star to look like, this does not. No rippling leaves. Does V.S. ripple imm...

Always nice to see late blooming hosta. Thanks.

thanks. I only have a couple of 3 year old seedlings, but they are my first attempts at hybridizing. Can't wait to have more!

Beautiful! HAA HAA ... Not laughing about the squirrels, laughing because I keep telling people that the chipmunks are taking my plant markers and I find them clear across the yard after winter. I used to think it was the dogs knocking them over until I wouldn't find some, or would find them in odd ...

Could be. Some leaves are solid gold. When he gave it to me, it was in a 3 gallon container, solid roots from his garden, in "dirt/mud". I transplanted it immediately. He said the new house had this in most of the flower beds. I know he dug up a full plant, didn't divide it. If I put it next to my g...

I thought about buying another, but a friend who has it has gone through the same thing. He got his from a different place than I did. That's why I didn't buy again. I am thinking that this might hold up now. The division which I thought was reverted is showing mild streaking in two leaves. So, it w...

Since repotting, my 3 year old korean snow seedling is already changing the look. The petioles are becoming whiter like Korean Snow. topped with blue wavy leaves. Can't wait to see this one grow.

Thanks, here are some more
I wish more people would post their seedlings. I know at this age it's hard to tell what they'll grow into, but it's nice to look , isn't it?

NICE! I have a blue hosta which I planted a couple of seed from. I only planted about 5. One was blue, one didn't sprout, and the other three were gold. I kept wondering how that happened, but looking at your photo can see it does. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! I have a love/disappointed relationship with LS Mom. I had a full size one which did not bloom in the first year. The 2nd year, 40% of the plant reverted to green. Yes, I divided it, and no it did not bloom after division. Last year I divided 75 % of the plant, and no blooms. Finally, thi...

Okay, I think my slugs are getting very creative with their appetite. I went out to my garden to find my August Moon with these chew marks on them. You think my slugs are laughing at me? No, I didn't photoshop this.
