'Nancy' - hosta of the day - please add your photos

Post by ViolaAnn »

The wavy heart-shaped leaves have heavy substance and are bright golden yellow in spring. They provide a backdrop to the lavender flowers in late July. Small to medium size. Parentage unknown.

Mine was new in spring 2013 and has grown considerably. I am still growing it in a pot, but divided it to share in 2015 with one of my friends named Nancy. This photo July 16, 2014 when it had already greened up a lot.

2016 update - This is the smaller of my two divisions. My friend Nancy now has the larger one. But this has grown a lot in the last year.

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