Pink-flowered hostas?

Post by Don Rawson »

Are there hostas which have pink flowers? I know there are some which have magenta striped petals (such as 'Akane', 'Kokuryu', etc.), but I was wondering if any have true pink flowers?

From what I've seen, the answer is "not yet." Did you ask at the seedgrowers' forum?

Before we go accepting people's pictures as "proof", be aware the color balance used by the camera has a great deal of influence on how the color is presented on-screen. The very least that should be done is take a picture with a proper color chart in it, such as shown in this article for example, so we can trust what we see on properly calibrated monitors and printers is the proper representation of the original....
