H. 'Ani Machi' leaf

Hosta 'Ani Machi'

Commercially available hosta
Sometimes called 'Geisha' though that's an incorrect name. This is a fast-growing, small hosta. Always moving in the wind, thus hard to photograph.

In 2013 I discovered HVX in this plant. Very subtle symptoms - nearly didn't test it. It was probably infected from the day I acquired it in 2006.

Hosta 'Ann Kulpa'

Have
Commercially available hosta
Bought as an impulse buy in 2014 because Ann is spelled the same way I spell it. It's doing well.

Hosta 'Aristocrat'

Have
Commercially available hosta
New in 2004. It did very well until about 2017 and since then went downhill. I've dug it and it's in a nursery bed and doing much better as of 2022.

Hosta 'Atom Smasher'

Have
Commercially available hosta
New as a gift summer 2017 and it's still quite small.

Hosta 'Avalanche'

Prev
Commercially available hosta
New in 2008. I've grown it in a variety of locations and am not sure this one is worth growing. I did have to move it after its shade tree died as it fried but it always looks a bit tattered.

2022 update: Got rid of this one a few years ago as it didn't want to grow well.

Hosta 'Bell Ringer'

Have
Commercially available hosta
Bought this one as 'Liberty Bell' in 2010. But it had stabilized even before I got it. No matter as the members of the handbell team I direct gave me gardening money. This is a tribute to them and it's fast growing. Might be able to share it soon.

Hosta 'Blue Cadet'

Have
Commercially available hosta
Small, fast-growing blue hosta that was new in 2005. For many years I had a small border at the edge of a small garden that was too dark and too dry. When we redid our stonework, autumn 2017, we put stones over that garden. I offered up much of my border to plant sales but have two good divisions in pots until I decide where to plant it.

A nice, small, slow-growing blue hosta. New 2006 and still small.

Commercially available hosta
Lovely and can eventually be quite large, but mine, at least is a slow grower. New in 2010 and smaller in 2018 than when I got it. Am thinking of trying another.

A lovely power blue. Not a large plant or a fast grower for me, but holds it colour well. New 2005
