Hosta Justine

Tetraploid June Fever. While June Fever is an outstanding hosta, Justine seems better in every way. Substance and presence. Can take lots of sun & heat.

Hosta 'Lakeside Breaking News'

Nice presence

Hosta 'Volcano Island'

Tetraploid Paradise Island. Stunning contrast

Hosta 'The King '

Promising

Picture from last year. It's at least twice the size in every dimension this year. It is still in the same pot (for now).

I got Frosted June in last season and it was just mostly green - nothing much to look at. But in this early part of the season it has some nice color to it.
That's Remember Me off to the top right that I moved here last season to get it some more light to try to get it to grow - this is its fourth season.
