 **Double D Cup[M] (Asch) We are very pleased to bring this unusual introduction from Stuart Asch to you. In the spring the plant emerges a grayish-green color looking very ordinary and then in early June it starts to show variegation with a faint green border. The border gets darker and darker as the summer days pass and the leaves begin to cup. Looks like a different plant in late summer and with maturity comes the best cupping. |
 **Dragon Warrior[M] (Van den Top) This bright and shiny new introduction from Jan Van den Top is H. 'Red Dragon' with a white edge. Long, pointed green leaves sport a clean white border that displays some rippling...same red petioles as the parent. Good grower but likes a warm spot and does come on later than other hostas. Topped with dark lavender flowers midsummer. |
| Dream Queen [M] (Jan Van den Top) Thick leaves have a creamy center surround by a wide blue-green margin. Good grower and great substance...white flowers in early summer. |
| Dusty Waters [M] (Naylor Creek Nursery) This is the all blue sport of H. 'Lakeside Cupcake'...vigorous grower with thick “dusty” blue, heart-shaped leaves makes a low dense mound. Topped with lavender flowers. |
