 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 |
 Magic Fire PP17524[L] (Jan van den Top) H. 'Magic Fire' has thick, deep green leaves with a wide yellow border that streaks toward the center. The leaves twist and fold and form a dense clump that is topped with lavender flowers. Will standout in any garden. |
| Magic Island [M] (Heemskerk) An attractive new member to the H. 'Halcyon' family...thick leaves have a yellow center framed by an irregular wide blue-green border that becomes wider with age. Leaf centers later turn to a cream color and the clump will be topped with lavender flowers. |
| **Majestic [M] (Goodwin) Very shiny dark green leaves have a very wide yellow border than changes to white...very striking color combination that really stands out. Pale lavender flowers. |
| **Majesty [L] (DeVroomen) A sport of H. „Sagae? (very similar to H. „Liberty?)...shorter than it?s parent with a border that is 2-3 times wider. Leaves are dark green with a creamy-yellow border that changes to cream and topped with lavender flowers……..12.00 |
 Major Tom[M] (Scheer) This introduction from Alttara Scheer really reaches into a new bag of tricks! Need a little disorganization? Purple petioles hold thick dark green leaves with white backs that twist and turn in every direction, some of them almost create a complete corkscrew. This clump will always draw your attention and bring out emotion. Topped with purple flowers. |
 Mango Tango[M] (Kinman) This is a unique sport from H. 'Dance with Me'...rounded leaves have good substance and a nice sheen. A wide green margin surrounds a narrow yellow center that has an irregular shape. Vigorous grower topped with lavender flowers, could be considered the reverse of H. 'Stitch in Time'. |
 Marilyn Monroe[M] (Jim Hawes) Thick gray-green leaves are quite ruffled and white backed...held on reddish petioles. Vigorous grower topped with lavender flowers. |
 Marrakech[S] (Terpening) Small yellow hosta with lance shaped leaves that have very wavy edges. Forms a beautiful clump that grows well and shows it's bright yellow color with more sun. 'Marrakech' holds it's best surprise for midsummer when it sprouts a pink flower scape with pinkish buds opening to very light lavender flowers. |
| **Medusa [mini] (Herold) A mini with shiny ivory-white to yellow leaves surrounded by an emerald-green border..they are very long and twist slightly with rippled edges. Purple flowers and good substance. |
 Midnight at the Oasis[M] (Naylor Creek Nursery) This sport from H. 'Pathfinder' begins much like its parent with a thick white centered leaf surrounded by a dark green border. Then, as the season progresses (especially if its a warm one), the white center develops flecks and becomes darker and darker. In cooler climates the center will stay whiter until late summer. Vigorous grower topped with lavender flowers. |
 Mighty Mite[S] (Dean) Thick, glossy dark green leaves have an almost “plastic” substance and are wavy and twisted...forms a dense, compact, low mound. Burgundy speckled scapes hold speckled and striped dark lavender flowers in September. This little guy is very vigorous and loves the sun. |
 Millennium[M] (Wilkins) Commanding clump of intensely blue-green leaves with slightly rippled margins. Tremendous substance and pure white flowers in July. |
 **Minnesota Wild[M/L] (Monty Carlson) Elegant new introduction from Monty Carlson of Minnesota...large heart-shaped green leaves have great substance and are framed with a wide and variable creamy-white border with lots of ruffles. Monty says this one does not burn and it looked good here in the NW until the end of the season. |
| Minuteman [M] (Machen) Similar to H. 'Patriot' but heavier substance, a darker green leaf and a more creamy-white cupped margin. |
| **Mohegan [M] (Megos/Malloy) Unique hosta with very thick intense blue, almost perfectly round, leaves that show good corrugation and will be topped with white flowers. Has proven to be a vigorous grower and makes a stunning clump. |
 **Moon Dance[M] (Dean) (originally named ‘Tupelo Honey’) This medium-sized clump forms an eye-catching mound of 6 1/2” x 9” puckered leaves that emerge a chartreuse-yellow with an irregular and creamy-white feathered border. A second flush of leaves appears a bright yellow with a white edge above the first creating a two-toned layered appearance. Lavender flowers appear in midsummer on well proportioned scapes. Had to have a new name due to a registration conflict. |
| Moon Split [M] (Van Eechaute) Nice sport from H. 'Velvet Moon' with a wide chartreuse-yellow border and a much narrower green center..(very limited). |
| Moonlight Sonata [M/L] (Johnson) Grey-green leaves turn shiny as the season progresses...great substance and beautiful fragrant pale lavender flowers. |
 Morning Star[M] (Heemskerk) A reverse variegated sport of H. 'Anne'...wide dark green borders surround a flared light yellow center with the leaf being divided into equal thirds. Vigorous w/lavender flowers. |
| Mourning Dove PP17311 [L] (Hans Hansen) Hybrid of kikutii forms a low spreading mound of blue leaves with a creamy-yellow margin…leaves have a silvery-white back. Topped with pale lavender flowers in August. |
| **Mr Green Jeans [S] (Naylor Creek Nursery/Fransen) Nice little upright dark green leaves have great substance and a good sheen...the all-green sport of H. 'Fireworks' that we find worth having. Pale lavender flowers……….(very limited). |
| Nancy [M] (Tower) Glowing yellow leaves are heart-shaped and very shiny...good substance. Leaf margins are wavy and do fade to chartreuse later. The clump is topped with lavender flowers. |
 Neptune PPAF[M] (Hansen) Cascading, wedge-shaped blue-green leaves with a wonderfully rippled margin are topped with lavender flowers in August on arching scapes. |
| Niagara Falls [L] (Brincka/Petryszyn) Large heart-shaped gray-green leaves stand upright and arch outward…each leaf has a dramatically rippled margin and clump is topped with violet flowers. |
| **Nifty Fifty [M] (Benedict) Stable form of H. 'Dorothy Benedict' with blue-green leaves framed by a creamy-yellow border…pale lavender flowers. |
 Nippers[S] (Goodenough) One of Rick's best introductions…little guy that is a strong grower and quickly forms a dense mound of very dark green leaves. This one will even work in the deep shade with the 3” round leaves being held horizontally on upright petioles. And last, but not least, near-pink to lavender-pink blooms midseason just above the clump give you a wonderful show and make 'Nippers' a great addition to your garden. |
 Obscene Gesture[S/M] (Andersen) Not quite sure where to start on this one...its one of those sports from H. 'Striptease' parentage and came out of the tissue culture production of H. 'Kiwi Full Monty'. A creamy-white border frames the blue-green leaf center and the typical 'Striptease' thin white line runs between the two. Do believe the right location will make a big difference with this plant.. (limited supply). |
 October Sky[S/M] (Dean) Don produces beautiful blues...this vase-shaped clump with intensely powdered blue on both the top and bottom of the foliage blends the best of H. 'Frosted Dimples' and H. 'Salute'. Leaves hold their color until October's frost in.Minnesota. Flowers are near white with lavender interiors and held on well-proportioned scapes in August. |
 Olympic Glacier[M] (Naylor Creek Nursery) Reverse sport of H. 'Pathfinder'..thick dark green leaves have a wide white irregular border with green flecks sprinkled throughout. Topped with lavender flowers midsummer. |
| **Olympic Gold Medal [M] (Naylor Creek Nursery/Fransen) All gold sport of H. 'Olympic Sunrise'…growing habit, leaf shape and vigor are the same as the parent but H. 'Olympic Gold Medal' has beautiful, glowing, gold leaves that become more yellow as the season progress. Great substance and lavender flowers……(limited). |
| **Olympic Silver Medal [M] (Naylor Creek Nursery/Fransen) Here is the all blue sport of H. 'Olympic Sunrise'…growing habit, leaf shape and vigor are the same as the parent but H. 'Olympic Silver Medal' has super thick, intensely blue leaves that hold all season and still look good long after most hostas are gone. Lavender flowers..(limited). |
 **Olympic Sunrise[M] (Naylor Creek Nursery) Thick leaves have a blue-green border around a yellow center. As the season progresses the yellow center turns to a parchment color and the border goes to dark green. Topped with lavender flowers. The clump holds and looks good long after most other hostas have gone down..(limited). |
 Olympic Twilight[M] (Naylor Creek Nursery) Reverse variegated sport of H. 'Olympic Sunrise' has thick blue leaves with a narrow chartreuse border that becomes yellow by the end of the season. Clump has upright form and improves with age. |
 One Man’s Treasure[M] (Benedict/Solberg) Very shiny dark green leaves are slightly rippled…the outstanding characteristic of this plant are the reddish petioles, the red reaches up into the leaf. Medium lavender flowers are held on purple scapes. Good substance. |
 Orange Marmalade PP16742[M] (Solberg) Sport of H. 'Paul's Glory'…the center of the leaf is a bright gold in spring, then turns to an orangish gold before it lightens to a pale yellow or white. Plant is a real “looker” with good substance and topped with pale lavender flowers. |
 Orange Star PPAF[M] (Van den Top) Beautiful new sport from H. 'June Fever'...this one likes the sun! If grown in morning sun the thick leaf centers will be orange in spring and by August fade to a cream color. Grow it in the shade and you will have yellow leaves throughout the season that will not darken like the parent does. Will reach 10-12” tall. |
 **Oze[S] (Japan) Green leaves are somewhat cupped and have a yellow border that changes to white. This unique little hosta is stoloniferous (runs instead of clumping) and less suitable for growing in pots. Flowers are white and often semi-double. |
