Hosta of the Day - 'Olympic Twilight'

Post by redcrx »

'Olympic Twilight' is a "reverse" coloration sport of 'Olympic Sunrise' - it's in the 'Halcyon' family / Katherine Lewis branch.

Hosta Registry - not registered
MyHostas Database - http://www.myhostas.be/db/hostas/Olympic+Twilight
Hosta Library - not in the Hosta Library

I have had this plant since 2010. These photos are from that season. I have had a problem growing this plant - I have it in deep shade so it is slow and my whole Halcyon family garden area became a "buffet" for the deer last season.

So here is what I have:

It dawned on me that I might have pictures of this one in some group shots. It sits next Katherine Lewis so I was able to find a photo from 2011.
