Hosta Lemon Lime and Heuchera purple palace

Registered in 1988 by Robert P. Savory, ‘Lemon Lime’ is a mini hosta that re-blooms several times beginning mid-season. The light purple flowers are bell-shaped and fertile. The scape is 13-18″ in height, bare and straight.

The flat, lanceolate, chartreuse-gold leaves measure 3″ x 1″. They sometimes have wavy margins. The leaves start more yellow and become greener as they age which is probably how it got the name lemon lime.

The clumps are about 8” across when mature and about 5” tall.

Lemon Lime

Lemon Lime’ is a nakaiana hybrid. This one increases quickly so you can use it as a nice bright ground cover in a shady spot.

Hosta Hacksaw, Thunderbolt

Hacksaw is a miniature hosta that grows quickly and has long, thin, tapered leaves that are appear serrated, due to the very rippled edges. I must get a better photo next year as the plant is much wavier than shown here. The leaves are about 6 inches long and less than an inch wide. It’s so unusual that it really does not even look like a hosta. The lavender flowers appear very late in the season, but it will set seed if the season is long enough. The plant can form patches up to 2 feet wide given time, but it gets no taller than 8 inches. The Parentage is ‘Atom Smasher’ x ‘Stiletto’. Hacksaw is the winner of the William and Eleanor Lachman Award. This plant is fairly sun tolerant. The light green leaves will just be lighter in more sun.

‘Gold Drop’ is a miniature, clump-forming hosta; a seedling of (H. venusta x H. ‘August Moon’). It forms a 6” mound that can spread to about 15” wide when it is mature. Smooth heart shaped leaves are about 2 by 3 inches, and are chartreuse to light yellow depending on how early in the season it is and how much sun the plant gets. 12” flower scapes bear lavender flowers in August. This is a nice edger that will tolerate more sun than most.
