Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
Today's hosta - 'Ripple Effect'. This tissue culture sport of 'June' was new to me last year as a bonus plant with an order. It's still immature and the jury is still out on how fond of this one I will become. This picture taken July 15 but it still looks pretty good today (as do all those I have from the 'Halcyon' family).

Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
I didn't like how Ripple Effect looked in the ground, so I stuck mine in the planter I made out of cinder blocks. I didn't know Ripple Effect was a sport of June.
Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
That looks great in the cinder block.
'June' has a long list of sports http://myhostas.be/sports/index.htm#
It includes 'Remember Me', 'High Society', 'Touch of Class' and 'Ripple Effect' has well as a lot I don't know but some of you likely do. And 'Blue Ivory', 'First Frost', 'Paradise Joyce' are siblings of 'June' as sports of 'Halcyon'. It's quite a large and notable family.

Love it in the cinder block. Cute rippled Hosta.

Still find this one hard to photograph and it's growing slowly for me, but growing. Must move it - it's presently under the edge of 'Regal Splendor'.

Mine also isn't looking too great in the ground in dappled shade/sun all afternoon long. This pic is from May 2011 after receiving it from Chris. I plan to put it in a pot next spring (along with a few other smaller ones) after seeing it in that cinder block.

Heres mine just planted a couple of weeks ago.
Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
I planted my 'Ripple Effect' in May 2011. This picture was taken on May 22, 2012 after a rainfall.
Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
'Ripple Effect', planted last fall (baby to the left either from it or 'Restless Sea'):

Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
I just put mine in the ground last fall so its very tiny.
Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
mine too-and it just broke ground last week.
Re: Hosta of the Day 'Ripple Effect' - Post Your Pics
I've had mine for several years but find it a very slow grower. I should move it and see if it likes a different location better.

2014. I moved mine in early July to a different location with more light and farther from the Linden tree. Too soon to know if it will make a difference, but I hope so. Picture July 16, 2014.

2015 - July 03. Mine was moved and I think I'm seeing a bit more growth on it. I'm hoping for lots more next season.
