Unregistered Seedling – By Grant/Matel 2011
This polychromatic beauty really does look just like the sky before the sun peaks through; peachy pink with gold highlights and a green throat. The edge is more than ruffled, it has tiny golden teeth. A dormant tetraploid she is 24 inches tall with a 5.75 inch bloom. Heavy substance allows her to bloom well into the night where she practically glows in the dark.

This one really is pretty white, with a light ruffle. If anything maybe a hint of green, or perhaps a reflection of the green throat. A mid-season blooming dormant, diploid; it is 28 inches tall. Usually it starts blooming on Father’s Day. It is listed at 6 inches, but is really more like a little over 5 for me; bright clean star shaped flowers.

Unregistered seedling by Krentz-Matel – 2009
These seeds were given to me by a friend to grow out. Seedling #: LKeast#8. This seedling is similar in size and shape to its pod parent Peggy Jeffcoat. At only 18 inches tall the 5 inch flowers sit just above the foliage. Although usually single occasionally it will display as a “loose double” with different flowers exhibiting slightly different forms, sometimes just a “tuft” in the center. The mauve flowers are lightly ruffled and have prominent white mid ribs and there is a wine eye zone and a yellow throat. The sepals are streaked and mottled with yellow. The petals can show some streaking as well A midseason blooming dormant diploid.

This is an unregistered seedling. The plant is interesting as it doubles about half of the time. The flowers are 5 inches and a rosey lavender with a mauve eye and yellow throat. Sometimes the double flower is a full pom pom like it’s parent Big Kiss, sometime a loose fringe and sometimes just a tuft. It’s pretty, with a lightly ruffled edge when not a double as well. When single you really notice the cream mid rib but if you look closely you see it in other forms as well. You will think you have different plants. A dormant diploid, this plant is happy at the front of the border, with a height of 20 inches.

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 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.
