Plant Name & Description
|
| Hosta (Plantain-Lilies) Zones 3–9 |
|
|
'Abba Dabba Do'
This sport of the very popular Hosta
'Sun Power' Has large, green, wavy leaves with
bright gold edges. Produces light lavender
flowers on 3 to 4 foot scapes. Large.
Shade to 3/4 sun. |
 |
‘Abiqua
Drinking Gourd'
Back by popular demand. Uniquely
formed frosty blue-green leaves that are so puckered
they resemble cups. White flowers in early
summer. Medium. Shade to 3/4 sun. |
 |
'Abiqua Moonbeam’
Ovate medium-green leaves with a clean gold
edge. Great when used in combination with 'August
Moon' and 'September Sun', as they are both sports
of 'August Moon'. Midseason pale lavender
flowers on 20 ' 30" scapes. 68"w x 27"h, Shade
to full sun. |
 |
‘Adorable'
PPAF
This superb sport of the very popular
'Royal Standard' has it all. Fragrant white
flowers over glossy, deep green leaves, that have
very defined chartreuse centers. The
definition in the leaves is far more defined than
Hosta 'Guacamole' and it has proven to be much more
cold hardy also. Although it handles full sun
well, it develops the best variegation in the shade.
A single clump has not been grown to full maturity
yet, but it will probably grow to a size slightly
smaller than 'Royal Standard'. It of course
flowers at the same time. A real winner.

'Adrian's Glory'
This beautiful sport of H. 'Gold
Standard' is named after my mentor, friend and
father, Adrian Van Hoorn. Heart shaped leaves
are blue-green with chartreuse centers and have a
thick substance that makes it very slug resistant.
The best I have seen of all the 'Gold Standard'
sports. July blooming lavender flowers on 30"
scapes above foliage 36"w x 20"h. Shade to 3/4
sun. |
