Hosta of the Day - Whoopee

Post by redcrx »

Whoopee is streaked hosta that comes from a cross of two other streaked hostas - 'Flamboyant' x 'Fascination'.

Darn, my Whoopee stabilized to a white edge that now looks like H. Whatever.

Here's the grouping. To give some context - bottom/right is Color Parade all yellow now, bottom/left Savannah Supreme all green (there are still some streaked pieces in another cluster), middle of the frame Seventh Heaven stabilized to a a white edge. Fascination on the right is still streaked.
