Daily Hosta - Ivory Coast

Post by redcrx »

Ivory Coast is a sport of Sagae with a much wider margin.

This is one of those "got to have" hosta. That's what I said the first time I saw it. It was early in the season and the margin was still yellow.

Here are some photos from the 2013 season. The area got torn-up by voles in 2014.

Looking good Redcrx! Sorry to hear about your %$%$^% voles, hope things are recovering. The early season, yellow edge is really something to see on both Ivory Coast and Liberty.

This one has been a bit slow for me, but it looks sooooo different from 2012! Yes, it's the same plant from above.
