Small-Medium. Tissue culture sport of H.'Golden Tiara'. A,Pollock 1991. Like its parent, this is a quick growing variety. The main distinction is that the yellow edge is much broader, at least half the width of the leaf. Leaf colour better with some morning sum. A polyploid sport, ie it has extra chromosomes, which give the leaves a thicker texture.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium-Large. H.plantaginea x H.sieboldii. A.Cummings & AHS 1986. We've found this variety to be very tough in the garden, and relatively resistant to slugs despite its soft appearance. The leaves are a simple elegant apple green, long and tapered in shape. As you would expect from a plantaginea cross, the flowers are large and fragrant (with perhaps just a whiff of aniseed?), lilac in bud, opening white. It is very tolerant of sun which is said to bring out the fragrance but deteriorates the foliage colour.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium. Begins with shiny yellow leaves with very red petioles. A seedling from H.'Invincible'. B.Zonneveld/H.Philips. By mid Summer this is hard to tell from Invincible, but in Spring the leaves emerge yellow with a narrow green edge, greatly enhanced by the shine on the leaves. The yellow colour, whilst striking at the time, fades quite quickly.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium. (Tardiana Group) A seedling from H.'June' or possibly H.'Devon Green'. J. van den Top. This is very much along the same lines as June is when young, the difference being that June Fever looks like the contrast knob has been dialled to maximum. The Spring leaves are a bright glowing yellow with a narrow green edge. the colouring gradually fades to chartreuse, retaining more of a narrow edge than that of June which gets broader on older plants.

Medium. Sport of H.'Josephine'. Kuk 1991. This is the variety to have if you are looking for glossy leaves as they can look as if they have been waxed. The centre of each long petioled leaf is a rich deep green with a bold regular margin of creamy yellow. Forms an open mound. A nice tidy distinctive variety.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium-Large. Seedling from H.'Neat Splash'. M.Seaver 1984. A quick growing variety whose leaves are lovely, but of a slightly thin texture requiring a little protection. They emerge a fresh apple green, but soon become a bright yellow with a narrow white margin. The texture is very well seersuckered, with the effect greatly enhanced by green staining in the recesses. In Spring the leaves come out of really red buds. Similar to Saint Elmo's Fire, whose leaves are even more seersuckered.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium-Large. H.'Green Fountain' hybrid. P.Aden 1986. A lovely form creating a gently arching fountain of foliage which is best appreciated when grown in a pot. The leaves are long and narrow with an undulating edge. They begin the season quite yellow, fading into the season to a green yellow centre and darker edges, all overlaid with an excellent shine. Early in the season reminiscent of June Fever in colouring. Flowers pinkish on a very leafy scapeDiscount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium. (fortunei) H.'Gold Standard' sport. C. & R.Thompson 1991. A quick growing variety with striking colouration which has sported many popular varieties. The narrow leaves have a very distinctive patterning consisting of a broad blue-green margin and apple-green, fading chartreuse centre with flecks of bright white at the junction between them. Like many Hosta, getting the light levels right is important to achieving the best colour.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium. H.'Fragrant Bouquet' x H.'Fragrant Candelabra'. P.Aden. A Hosta that reminds me in some ways of H.'Shade Fanfare' in its colouring which is somewhat like an over ripe lime. Leaves begin yellow with a creamy margin, taking on much more of a green cast as they age with a whiter margin. The yellow colouring is more prominent in more sun, though good moisture at the root is needed if this is the case.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Medium. Broad, thick textured leaves (better to resist slugs) have a bold irregular olive green margin and a pale chartreuse centre with extra jade green streaks jutting inwards. As an extra bonus each heart shaped leaf has a most attractive twist to the blade. The long petioled leaves make vigorous clumps 18" high, 40" wide and are superb groundcover. The exact colour of the leaves can vary according to temperature and age of the plant. Flowers pale lavender on leafy glaucous scape 30" high. A possible sport of H.fortunei 'Hyacinthina' (J. Kulpa 1989) Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks
