That 'Vivacious' is lovely.

The reg-legged hostas that I have are:

'Cherry Tart' - mine looked a bit bedraggled last year as it got too much sun after a tree was removed and I had to move it.

'Island Breeze' was new to me last season and I think it may become a stunner. I've also got 'Paradise Island', but it's not doing well for me.

'Katsuragawa Beni'

'Fire Island' early in the season is a stunner.

A new one to me Sept 2014, but hard to find as it's patented and the originator pulled the plug on it is 'Purple Heart'. The red petioles are really dark - almost black.

My 'Raspberry Sundae' finally decided to grow this year but it was in too much sun because we lost a tree and the colours got faded. I've had it about 5 years.

'Red October' has very red legs, but they are hard to see because the foliage droops down and covers them.
