Hosta of the Day - Calamity Jane

Post by redcrx »

I have had this plant since 2010. It's a cross of 'William Lachman' x plantaginea so it can be a little streaky. I had planted it in a small cluster of about 5 hosta in a spot with a lot of root competition. The group was in an area I need to walk-in so last year I potted the group. This season Calamity Jane has exploded in the pot.

That's a nice streaky division. Is it fragrant, too?

I has never flowered for me - hopefully it will this season. I pulled out the pot to get some better photos.

Calamity Jane is growing in a pot near Purple Boots.
Since I got photos of PB today I decided to get some of Calamity Jane.
