 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.
denotes new for 2012 |
 Gentle Giant[VL] (Black/Sebright Gardens) Very fitting name for this “quiet” blue that can reach 42” high by 5-6' across! Intense blue leaves are deeply cupped, nicely corrugated and held in an upright fashion creating a vase-shaped clump. Does well in cooler or warmer climates. Topped with pale lavender flowers that are very fertile and produce lots of seed. |
 George Smith[M] (Smith) Sport of H. sieboldiana 'Elegans'..leaves have a yellow-gold center and a wide blue-green margin and grow into a beautiful clump. Near white flowers. |
 **Glacial Towers[L] (Don Dean) This great new introduction from Don Dean of Minnesota makes a beautiful upright clump with the leaves held almost flat but layered well above the ground. A great choice for the middle to back of a border, standing above domed medium sized clumps or under-planted with mini's and small plants. The medium green leaves have a wide creamy-yellow to white feathered border and where there is overlap two shades of grey-green develop adding further interest. Lavender flowers are held on tall scapes. |
 Glamour[S] (Van Eechaute) Small hosta with an elegant form...creamy-yellow to white leaves have a variable dark green border that streaks to the center. Elongated leaves come to a point and are held in a pleasing arrangement topped with lavender flowers on creamy scapes that eventually hold creamy pods. |
 Glorious[S] (Livingston) Fitting name on a small graceful plant that is fast growing and has thick, smooth, bright shiny undulating leaves that turn a brilliant yellow in the sun. While the buds and bracts match the leaves in color, the base of the buds and the length of the scapes are vibrant red. After sporting lavender flowers the seed pods end up purplish-red also. |
| **Glory Hallelujah [L] (Hansen) Heart-shaped blue-green leaves with a green border that changes to yellow...this is the reversed variegated sport of H. 'Paul's Glory'. Vigorous grower with lavender flowers. |
 Goldbrook Glory(M/L) (Bond) Sport of H. 'Zounds' and thought to be one of Sandra Bond's best. Good substance on a dark green leaf with a bright creamy border that later turns white. Vigorous grower will be topped with lavender flowers. |
 Golden Meadows PPAF[M] (van Elderen) Sport from H. sieboldiana 'Elegans' with an outstanding color combination..leaves are light green with dark green margins and medium green streaks between the two colors. White flowers in summer. |
| **Gone with the Wind [L] (Petryszyn) Large dark green leaves have great substance and are framed with a rippled creamy-white border that becomes white...long leaf tips add to the elegance. Topped with lavender flowers midsummer. |
| Goodness Gracious PPAF [M] (Walters Gardens) New sport from H. 'Satisfaction'...beautiful heart-shaped leaves have a very wide chartreuse-yellow undulating border wrapped around a dark green center. Great substance and lavender flowers. |
| Grand Marquee [M] (Laviana/Malloy) Blue-green leaves have an irregular pattern and a narrow golden center that turns creamy-white by the end of the season. Some cupping and topped with near-white flowers in late spring. |
 Grand Rapids[M] (Linneman) Beautiful gray-green leaves with a wavy margin are held on stunning purple petioles...good color combination. Lavender flowers also on purple scapes. |
 Gray Cole[L] (Kuk) A large clump of corrugated and cupped blue leaves with gray overtones and good substance. |
 Great Escape PP19003[M] (Van den Top) Sport of H. 'Halcyon' with a very wide white border. Vigorous grower with all the same attributes as its parent--good substance, holds up throughout the season and is topped with lavender flowers. |
| Green Mouse Ears [mini/small] (Deckert) Sport of H. 'Blue Mouse Ears'…very thick, round dark green leaves form a dense clump topped with lavender flowers. |
 Gretchen’s Grace[M] (Sisson) This fantastic hosta comes from Kathie Sisson and we are delighted to bring it to you...elongated and arching blue-green leaves form a graceful medium-sized mound. A seedling from H. 'Cinnamon Sticks' x H. 'Gilt by Association', H. 'Gretchen's Grace' has reddish petioles that show color up into the leaf. The leaves are held horizontally atop the petioles creating a beautiful vase. Lavender flowers. |
 Grey Ghost[M/L] (Solberg) Unique sport of H. 'Blue Angel'..in spring the leaves emerge creamy-white with very little color, then turn a bright butter-yellow and eventually blue in about six weeks. Near white flowers in June. |
| Guardian Angel [M/L] (Thompson) The variegated sport of H. 'Blue Angel'..a white-centered leaf early in the spring grows progressively greener and ends with a medium green center and blue border. In time this plant will be a huge clump of blue foliage and topped with white flowers. In cooler climates the distinct variegation holds well into the season. |
| Gypsy Rose [M] (Anderson) Good sport from H. 'Striptease'...creamy-yellow to white leaves have a dark green border with the typical thin white line running between the center and the border. Does not grow as tall as the parent and will only make about a 15” tall clump. Topped with lavender flowers. |
