Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
I'm embarrassed to post this picture. Patriot is the ugliest Hosta I have right now with the dried edges and hail damage. It's in is in the corner of my yard, so get's a bit neglected with water at times. Also gets quite a bit of direct sun in the summer around 5+ hours. Hoping it will come up better next year or it might need a move. Got it from Chris this year.

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
My 'Patriot' isn't looking wonderful either right now. It's always one of the first on which the leaves go brown.

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
Unless there next to each other how can you tell the difference between Minute Man and Patriot I have a Minute Man and had a Patriot when they were close together I could just tell the difference
Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
I don't see much difference. In my first picture there are two Minuteman above the Night before Christmas.

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
I moved this last week to be close to 'Loyalist'. The ones around where it was were mostly yellow-toned and having the two related hostas next to each other will look better.

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
Picture taken Sept. 13/12. Not looking quite as good as earlier, but holding up well. Got it last year. I've kept it in a pot since.

My poor Patriot, prone to drawstringing and extreme bunny vandalism every year so far:

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
I moved 'Patriot' at the end of the 2012 season so that it's right next to its reverse colour sport, 'Loyalist'. It looks great there. Photo July 16, 2014.
Here's a pic of the two plants together. Also July 16.

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
2016 update - it didn't do particularly well in 2016 and I was told that across the region this variety was not doing well. Might have been affected by the very strange winter we had 2015-16 with long mild stretches which melted the snow.

Re: Daily Hosta - 'Patriot'
2017 update - It continued to do poorly in 2017. I dug it and examined the roots and decided to replace it. However, I grew the remnants of it in my nursery bed for the remainder of the season. In 2018 the original was looking better, but since my space is limited, I gave it away. This is the replacement plant July 12. I grew it in a pot for the season while I improved the soil where the old plant was.
