Really pretty that one don't know it tho
Re: Daily Hosta #3 - Luna Moth
Bought LM last year when I couldn't get 'Gemini Moon'. These pictures were taken on May 22 and June 18. It was left untouched by cutworms, slugs, earwigs all summer. I checked out ViolaAnn's 'Gemini Moon' and the two hostas do look a lot alike.
Re: Daily Hosta #3 - Luna Moth
As an afterthought I checked out parentage. 'Luna Moth' is a sport of 'Parky's Prize' and 'Gemini Moon' is a sport of 'Abiqua Moonbeam' (source of info: Fransen Hostas).

Great plant. Mine is in it's second year.


Re: Daily Hosta #3 - Luna Moth
RocknHostas, my LM definitely needs a rock! Nice touch. I can't remember seeing flowers on mine although I noted dry scapes on Sept. 2.
Re: Daily Hosta #3 - Luna Moth

Re: Daily Hosta #3 - Luna Moth
Second year in our gardens, it was being strangled by Maple tree roots, so I moved it late in the season last year.


Re: Daily Hosta #3 - Luna Moth
Love everyone's pictures of Luna Moth. I'm glad I bought it.
Thy, my LM is under a limbed up spruce tree, right at the outer edge of the planting bed, eastern exposure.
