30. 2018 seedling #1 from 'Purple Heart'. Watching these three because I like the 2016 seedling so much. Seedling-18-Purple_Heart1-180710s.jpg 31. 2018 seedling #2 from 'Purple Heart'.

26. 2018 seedling from 'Deja Blu'. Given the nice seedling I have from 2010 from DB, I'm watching this one. Seedling-18-Deja_Blu1-180710s.jpg 27. 2018 seedling from 'Ice Age Trail'. Watching this one for sure. It's got tough leaves and enough green that it should grow well. Seedling-18-Ice_Age_Trail...

21. 2016 seedling from 'Salute'. This one also shows a bit of red in the petioles. I'll try to get another picture w/o shadows. Seedling-16-Salute-180710s.jpg 22. 2016 seedling from 'Spilt MIlk' has been consistently misty and I think it will be a keeper. Seedling-16-Spilt_Milk-180710s.jpg 23. 2016 ...

17. 2016 seedling from 'Curly Fries'. I like this one which may end up looking a lot like mama. Seedling-16-Curly_Fries1-180710s.jpg 18. 2016 seedling from 'Curly Fries'. Amazing how different this one is from the previous picture. I think next year will decide whether I keep it or not. Seedling-16-...

13. 2013 seedling from 'Neat Splash'. I was given seeds from NS and these all came from one plant that resulted from those seeds. I divided the plant a couple of years ago because it had so many things going on with it - really unstable. While all of this originated as one plant, the eyes vary widel...

9. 2012 seedling from 'Korean Snow'. This is a fast-growing seedling from KS. But I'm not quite sure it warrants keeping long term or giving a name. Suggestions welcome though. Seedling-12-Korean_Snow-180710s.jpg 10. 2012 seedling from 'Lemon Frost'. A very tiny (the size of my hand) hosta. Moved it...

6. 2009 seedling from 'Touch of Class'. This is a small plant which is quite bright yellow in early spring and tones down. Has slightly red petioles. Seedling-09-TOC2-180710-1s.jpg 7. 2010 seedling from 'Deja Blu'. I like this blue seedling a lot, but have not yet divided it. Will do that soon and m...

I have quite a number of Open-Pollinated (OP) seedlings that I'm quite happy with. Some I've already given a name. Others I'm watching and may keep. I will post them in small batches and I invite discussion and or suggestions on whether I should name them, name suggestions, and even if you really se...

2017 update - Aug. 15, 2017

2017 update - LOTS of slugs in 2017.

2017 update - much the same.

2017 update - not much change. Still like this one and wonder why it isn't better known.

2017 update - July 12, 2017. We had a very wet 2017 and slugs had a great year. But this one looks great in 2018.

2017 update. Great ground cover. I think I'll dig some of this for plant sales next year. July 27.

2017 update. Not much change. July 27.

2017 update. Early in the season it looked wonderful. But it was badly attacked by slugs later in the season - a year in which we had constant rain. This photo from June 16.

2017 update. Ed - your plant looks like a different variety because it's white leaf centre is so much smaller. This was mine last year Aug. 5.

2017 update. I love this one, but it has been trying to stabilize a bit for the last couple of years. July 19.
