 Hostas come in a wide range of sizes and as you go through our listing you will see a letter in parenthesis after the name which denotes the height of the plant…the ledger below will help to convert this to inches.

The clump is stunning with the leaves reaching upward and outward creating a sense of motion. |
 China Girl[M] (Scheer) This introduction from Alttara Scheer is a cross between H. 'Maya Kingsnake' and Ron Livingston's H. 'Funny Cide'...a fast growing medium-sized plant with undulating shiny green leaves held on deep red petioles makes a semi vase-shaped clump. Very fertile both ways. A very flirty disposition, overall! |

 Cold Heart[M] (Scheer) Emerging like frosted lime popsicles, H. 'Cold Heart' has rippled and serrated edges on heart-shaped leaves with white backs. In shade, it maintains its frosted lime color and in sun the frost will melt and these hearts will glow with renewed passion. |

 Cracker Crumbs[mini] (Solberg) Sport of H. 'Shiny Penny'..shiny leaves emerge bright yellow-gold surrounded by a dark green margin and, as the season progresses, the color becomes chartreuse, then almost coppery, and continues to darken until late summer. Makes a tight clump topped with dark lavender flowers. |
 Cranberry Wine[M] (Sisson) We are excited to be introducing some of Kathie Sisson's plants to the Hosta World. We think H. 'Cranberry Wine' is an exceptional plant...it is a seedling from H. 'Cinnamon Sticks' x H. 'Tequila Sunrise' and has bright yellow leaves that become chartreuse. Pointed leaves are shiny, very wavy and have wonderful substance. The petioles become cranberry-colored as the season progresses and purple flowers appear late in the season on top of dark cranberry scapes. |
