This ivory beauty has a green throat and light ruffles. She is a staple in the moon garden. She has an extended bloom period which means blooms last into the evening. A dormant tetraploid; this 23 inch tall plant has 5 1/2 inch blooms. It is list
ed as ivory but really it depends on the light sometimes it looks pale yellow and sometimes pale pink. It really stands out in the dark, with contrasting black anthers.

This gorgeous sturdy plant holds masses (35 buds on 4 branches) of cheery 5 1/2 inch fragrant flowers. They are golden yellow with a red eye above a green throat. The show starts early mid season and continues for the rest of the season. The plant is a 30 inch dormant tetraploid with nice foliage.
This plant has large fans so an order will be two fans rather than my normal three.

This is the one, where visitors to the garden stop and say “Wow, what is that?” The blooms are nine inches with a large bright yellow throat that spreads into a star when fully open. At 32 inches tall this dormant tetraploid is sturdy and holds abundant blooms without bending. Early, midseason rebloomer says it all, as he seems to bloom all summer. It’s no wonder he is a Stout Medal winner and is still winning popularity contests today.
This plant has large fans so an order will be two fans rather than my normal three.

This hosta is a sport of Twilight. It is the reverse form. It has yellow centers on the leaves with a dark green edge but it becomes more white later in the season. There are three or more colors as the edges streak towards the center. The clump is topped with pale lavender flowers starting in June. The leaves are thicker than the species because it is one of the first tetraploids found in Hostas. The clumps are 2 to 3 feet wide.
