Hostas, ummm what would be mine favorite, I don’t think I could narrow it down to even 10 favorites I love them all.June is definitely up there, in the top 100 favorites. Blessingham Blue is another long time favorite

Wow, so many answers, and so many new hostas to meet. Thanks to all.

Welcome, Deb. Definitely use the Sources list on the lower right-hand column of every page here for the bigger list, and enjoy. ‘Sum and Substance’ is a wonderful plant; I can almost see the giant one here if I just shift my chair a bit, in the distance. See you soon, we hope, and thanks for your kind words.

“June” and “Summersweet” (?) and “Blue Cadet” and “Golden Tiara” in the shade and “Thunderbolt” and “Tokudama” and . . . .

Rosella should try “Guacamole.”

I’d have to say that my all time favorite is Sum and Substance. The bright lime color and the sheer magnitude of the beast just lights up my shady back yard. I’ve ordered three June’s (I just adore this web site) so I can see why you love them. I also like the way you attach the web sites where I can purchase the plants you recommend. I have been a faithful follower of White Flower Farm (the catalog alone, was half my Garden Love inspiration) but really needed some other sources for the things they don’t carry . Thanks Margaret, I am having so much FUN!!!
