Hallson Gardens

Finally found a sport worth talking about. LovePatSport.JPG This is probably H. 'Love Pat' (label has gone missing but my collection list says this must be Love Pat). I've neglected it for a couple of years, so it decided to draw my attention. Hope the edge stabilizes, because is saw no sport in Hug...

Hello all you hosta lovers

I'm glad to be back after a long time.

My son wanted a hosta named after him and he picked this one. It's a H. 'Eos' seedling with firm leafs that stay yellow all season.

IMHO this hosta is estethically near perfect; it forms a very...

Hosta Registry: not registered May 2013 Myhostas database: not yet present Hosta Library: not yet present And now for something completely different. I have a whole bunch of "seedlings" in the Hosta Mill. A large part of them have H. 'Grand Slam' as pod parent, and most of these have H. longipes cha...

Yes, it's fertile.

Japanese are very keen on vieriegated plants and collect them where ever they can. This H. kiyosu...

It grows into a nice specimen if you give it the time.
This one has been in the garden for 5 years.

This Altarra Scheer introduction, a H. 'Niagara Falls' seedling, is, like its mom, a real showstopper. It makes a very tight clump and grows very fast. In the Hosta Mill it found a place in the shade of a platanus tree. The soil gets a 5 cm compost layer every 2 years. This seems to work very well. ...

The vase shape is very nice... got it last year so it is still a baby :wink: How much sun does it get and how old is it ? How does it grow That's the info wich made hanks POD so special.... but telling the latitude of your garden and the other info, sure would be something worth saving.. so sad we ...

It's growing in between the cobblestones of my garden path.
But I love it for its flowers

An oldie, 1983. If you were to look it up in the Hosta Library, I don't think many people would be tempted to put it in their garden. Hope this picture can change your mind. Hosta 'Elisabeth'.JPG PS: I'll send the pictures to Bob at the HL when I think they are better than the ones present. To do th...

Don't think it's H. kikutii. Wrong petioles.

The Hosta of the day tradition is one to keep alive. I'll try to post one from now on every day, one that hasn't been shown before. The first one is H. 'Phoenix', a H. rectifolia hybrid that is heading for oblivian, and I don't know why. IMHO it brings something different to a collection. Hosta 'Pho...

Dan heb je nog niet geprobeerd om Nederlands te leren.

Groeten uit België,

Who needs colors ?

Hope you like it as much as he does.
It's called H. 'Arno'
If it proves to be a good garden plant, this one will be Tc'd in a couple of years.
It's a lemon yellow H. 'Eos' seedling.

Thank you all for the nice comments.
If all goes right, I'll finally do my first registrations this year.
This one is on the shortlist.

My mistake. File to large
