Hosta of the Day - Stir It Up

redcrx · Post by **redcrx** » Mar 17, 2015 8:57 pm

Stir It Up is a green hosta with a wavy edge and white-backed leaves. It shows some red on the petioles.

It's a plant from Alttara Scheer. I was noticing how many of her plants I have like Funky Monkey, Scallion Pancakes and Totally Twisted which I posted pictures here.

I got this plant in 2013 and these photos are from that season. I couldn't find any pictures from 2014 - I'll have to check if it made through that really nasty winter - many plants didn't.

Nice! Is it fertile?

I will see if I can find it. Don't know if it's fertile. Zilis doesn't mention it in his "The Hostapedia" and Alttara doesn't register her plants so there is no information there either.

Thanks. I've been trying to find the info also.

A little bit of serendipity hit today. I went looking for a couple of pots of unknown plants I have in my back raised bed. Didn't find what I was looking for but did come upon a pot that needed some dirt added and moved in to sun. Finding that pot triggered a hunt for another pot in a different bed. While looking for that second pot I came upon a tiny pot of clausa normalis I thought I had but couldn't find. Then I noticed a blue pot buried under an azalea and remember this Stir It Up topic. I had looked for this pot a few times but never came up with it. It is big but didn't flower - too much shade from the azalea and a swamp maple above it. I added some soil to the pot.

I got Stir It Up in fall of 2014, pic taken today. This one doesn't seem to photograph well at all. Maybe that's just my failing, but every pic I have looks blah. Recently moved it to this spot from beneath a lilac where it was getting too much shade.
