Today my Sister-In Law and I went to the Hosta House in Salt Lake City. I took mostly general pictures. I'm going back in a couple of weeks and will try to focus in more on individual cultivars, Here is part of what we saw.....

They definitely live up to their business name! Looks like you had a lot to choose from. Did you only buy the one?

I bought a mature plant of Seducer which I will take a picture of tomorrow when I plant it. It will go in a spot where I needed a tall upright plant. Also 2 small ones, Pixie Vamp and Hideout. Pictures tomorrow. I have more pictures to post. my Sister-In Law bought several.......

Paul2032,
It is amazing to see so many perfect looking hostas with no bug bites no torn leaves etc. I can't get over how well everything must be regulated to get all those hostas to grow at the same rate, I've seen a video on how thousands of them are grown and the precise standards they must live up to in order to pass inspections, really amazing.
Those are some beautiful looking plants.

The owners name is Burton and he does a great job. The only problem I saw today was a small one....a little sun damage. It is a challenge to provide shade for all those plants.

Seducer looks like a nice upright. I'll have to put that one on my list. I'm looking for large, upright hosta for my hillside.

How about Niagara Falls.....


or Queen of the Seas
Thumb of 2014-05-31/Paul2032/501619

Today I got a nice sport of Niagara Falls....Bridal Falls from Plant Delights Nursery. It will be a nice upright.

Also Krossa Regal, Regal Splendor and Regal Supreme are nice uprights.....

I do have all of the above except Bridal Falls. I divided a huge Krossa Regal 2 years ago and planted them on the hill. My Queen of the Sea is pretty big, so maybe I'll divide it. I'll put Bridal Falls on my list for next year. Thanks for the suggestions.
