Non-streaked hosta?

Is there such a thing as non-streaked hosta?
Just to show that I have a couple in the yard that are not streaked here are a couple that should be looking good this year.

Dreaming of Spring

I sure have got cabin fever these days. I guess I need to move further south for a longer growing season.
Here are a couple seedlings out of Fudge Ripple from a couple years ago that I am waiting to see soon I hope.

Mike ,
sorry to hear about your troubles with seedling growing
They can be very picky sometimes.
Looking forward to working out a trade this year and I can throw in some seedlings to experiment with.

Maybe someone will have to let them know to put in a supply of them as there are lots of new addicts on th...

When I first became a hosta addict I grew lots of hosta, I would buy all the new ones that came onto the market. I really did enjoy this First Lev...

Hi Jeroen, some great looking little ones you have growing there. Sorry to hear you lost some seedlings as I too always hate it when that happens. I do not think to a plain seedling has ever just died on its own here, it is always the ones that I want to watch grow up. Happy growing and keep us post...

George, I always make crosses in the garden with the plants I like. If I don't like certain plants they are gone as I have no room for all of them I would say that 75% of my crosses are between streaked plants since that is what I have in the garden. Here are a couple more from the same flats. Thank...
