 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 |
| T Rex (also registered as Tom Rex) [VL] (Ward) A HUGE hosta so give this one lots of room! Gigantic green leaves are 18” long and 14” wide and tend to be rather floppy because they are so big. Topped with near-white flowers. |
 Tattle Tails[mini] (Fransen) New variegated sport from H. 'Dragon Tails'...long, wavy leaves have a green center framed by a yellow border...great addition for those who love the minis. The leaves tend to grow upward and then cascade down making a perfect little dense mound. Topped with lavender flowers in midsummer. |
| **Teatime [M] (Zilis/Boyden) A sport from H. 'English Sunrise'...blue leaves have a yellow border. Good substance and lavender flowers in late July. Probably the reverse of H. 'June'. |
| The Right One [L] (Elslager/Zilis) This is a stabilized creamy-yellow centered sport from H. 'The Right Stuff' (a beautiful streaker)...large leaves that are almost round at maturity with lots of corrugation and thick substance have a dark green to blue-green border. Topped with tall scapes of lavender flowers in midsummer. |
 Theo’s Blue[M] (Leydens/Zonneveld) A H. pycnophylla hybrid..beautiful powdery-blue leaves are held on purple-red petioles. The back of the leaf is white. Lavender flowers. |
 **Theo’s Red[M] (Leydens) Another H. pycnophylla type from Theo Leydens of Holland...wavy gray-green leaves are held on long reddish petioles. Leaf backs are white and lavender flowers appear in midsummer…………(very limited and originator’s stock). |
 Tickle Me Pink[S/M] (Stegeman) Leaves emerge bright yellow-chartreuse on red petioles with red tips and some red brushed across the shiny backs. Later the leaves become a golden color. Fuchsia-pink buds emerge in September on dark scapes. |
 Titanium[M] (Dean) This vigorous silver-blue clumps up quickly with leathery, smooth centered and wavy edged leaves that are heavily coated with wax on both the upper and lower surface. At only 9" tall, this 34" wide clump is perfect for the front of the border. Loves morning and late afternoon sun but needs protection from mid-day sun to preserve the blue well into the season. A second flush of leaves mid to late season keeps the blue coming. Lavender flowers in late summer complete the picture. |
| Tokudama Aureonebulosa [M] (Maekawa/AHS) Cupped yellow leaves have a blue-green border..can be a slow grower but is still a very desirable plant with good substance. Nice white flowers in summer. |
 Tokudama Flavocircinalis[M] (Maekawa/AHS) Blue-gray leaves with a yellow margin have heavy substance and lavender flowers. Great performer in any climate. |
| Tom Schmid [L] (Schmid) Sport from H. 'Krossa Regal'..long leaves have a blue center surrounded by a wide white border. Substance is good and topped with lavender flowers. |
 Totally Twisted[M] (Scheer) A fast growing riot of long, light, soft green leaves, white backed, red petioles, un-tamed and twisted. Many leaves turn a complete twist on the edges, nicely showing off the white undersides, and turn up from the midpoint to show off the red legs. As the season grows on, the first flush of leaves can (with the right exposure) develop yellow flecks and speckles. This trait can be passed on to offspring. Tolerates sun well. Fertile and has reliably sent up a second set of scapes in the originator's garden. |
 Touch of Class PP13080[M] (Hans Hansen/Shady Oaks Nursery) A tetraploid and a super plant with intense blue leaves set off by a striking yellow-gold center. Green color is created where the gold and blue overlap. Lavender flowers. |
| **Touch of Frost [M] (Fransen) This is a sport of H. 'Touch of Class' found at Marco Fransen's Nursery in Holland… rubbery-like blue leaves are tough as nails and topped with lavender flowers midsummer. Color holds throughout the season. |
 Tropical Dancer PPAF[M] (Jan van den Top) H. 'Spring Fling' with attitude! This wonderful sport has a very wide, intensely ruffled, creamy-white border surrounding beautiful long, tapered, green leaves. Vigorous grower topped with lavender flowers. |
