Hosta of the Day 'Sara' - Post Your Pics

[ViolaAnn]

Today's hosta is 'Sara'. Billed as medium-large, this one gets larger than I had anticipated; so it gets an occasional dividing and because it was divided last spring it's somewhat smaller this year than last. 'Sara' is lutescent - gets more yellow in the leaves as the season progresses. Sara is also the name of my younger daughter. It was new to me Spring 2006.

2015 - June 21. Nice sideways picture showing a bit of the vase-shaped mound early in the season.

2015 - Aug. 13. Later in the season - should show some of the lutescent qualities of this plant, but it didn't show as much this year as in some years.
