I put your list into alphabetical order - makes it easier to see what's missing - I don't see 'June' or 'Liberty' - two hostas I certainly wouldn't want to be without. I've also have very good success with others in the 'June' family - 'Remember Me', 'High Society'. If you are running out of room, assess what you have. For instance, I've found 'Moonstruck' to be a prissy prima dona and she's out of my garden soon.

Also, if you are wondering about new ones to add, you might look at what you have in terms of adding to a certain theme or a certain family. What zone are you in?

Hallo Ann:

thank you very much......
June i had got for a long time and June Fever (like that one very much) but I´m more interested in streaked ones or really special Hostas like Spilt Milk, Purple Haze, Pistache etc) So difficult even when you have not much place left and so many whishes for new Hostas

Zone is 7b

[Chris_W]

Have you ever checked out Rainbow's End? It is one of my favorites, and isn't too big.

[thy]

Rainbows End is beautiful, Hacksaw is an other very special one.

In my last years in my former city lot I gave away several hot so special to me hostas and got space for some more interesting ones.

You are in Europe and you want streakers!
-
- Get seeds on an US auction...
- Ask Marco and Jan... Ice Age Trail and a very few others are/ have been up for sale
- Be a very good girl and beg Jeroen, Danny or one of the others

LOL you just have to beg and twist arms... but the streakers are here... let me know if you want me to ask a friend
