Daily Hosta - 'Eleanor Lachman' - Add your pics

Post by ViolaAnn »

Name: H. 'Eleanor Lachman' - 2012

Description: open, semi-upright mound. The clump has leaves with creamy-yellow to white centers surrounded by a wide dark green margin. Substance is above average

Size: Small
Origin: ('Neat Splash' x 'Flamboyant') x 'Robert Frost'
Flowers: medium lavender bell-shaped, in July
Source: Goldenbrook Hostas
Added to garden: July 2012
Notes: This is one I intended to acquire after my good friend Eleanor passed away nearly three years ago. But somehow I didn't get around to it until I saw it available while attending a Hosta Picnic last July. It's still in the pot it came in, but will be planted into the garden as soon as I prepare a new garden.

2014 Two years later it's in the ground, but there isn't yet a lot of growth.

2015 - July 03. This one showed quite a bit of growth this year. It also got quite a bit more sun than last year as I had to removed a tree south of it, but it seemed to do well.

2017 update. 2017 was VERY rainy and I had many slugs. However, in 2018, it's looking great so far. This picture July 9, 2017.
