Hosta Mediovariegata
Hosta Mediovariegata
Stunning variety brightens shade gardens and container plantings. Growing 18-24" tall, Hosta Mediovariegata features wavy, green leaves with white centers. Fragrant, lavender flowers bloom above the foliage in the summer. This dramatic, popular variety gives landscapes and gardens a professional look—and it's ideal for naturalizing, providing sparkling color for years. Hosta lilies, sometimes called "Plantain" or "Heart Lilies," are some of the best perennials for shade and woodland gardens. These shade-loving perennials are tolerant of a wide variety of soil types, but prefer well-drained soil.

A couple of runts but overall excellent
Purchased bag of 10. All but 2 have developed very quickly in first season. We have a couple of stragglers that are still tiny well into season. These aren't going to bloom this year and are only about a finger high. But, all of the others are growing well and are exactly as described. They won't quite reach a mature size and spread this season, but I have no doubt that they'll reach their full potential next year.
Great bare root plants!
I received the plants during a rainy period, so I planted them in pots inside. They already had some growth on them and took off immediately. However, now that i can see the leaves, they are not the variety that i ordered. There is no white on the leaves. the "Contact Us" link didn't work, so I am requesting assistance thru this review.

Growing despite smelling moldy
I didn't have much hope for these when they arrived but I planted them anyway. They smelled so strongly of mild my allergies went crazy. I planted them all knowing that hosta are pretty tough and 7 out of 10 are growing!
Not what I ordered.....
I ordered these, because I needed filler and I HATE the solid color hostas. They are 4-5 leaves up and ALL of them are solid green. I will see if the turn as they get bigger, but if not, i will be ripping out 10 hostas. WTH? Also, the leaves are stick straight. NO ruffle

They're not all the expected color pattern
On the plus side, these all appear to be nice healthy plants. I planted them as soon as the weather permitted, and they're eagerly sprouting leaves and growing. However, only five have leaves that are green and white. Four have leaves that are plain green, and one has leaves that have a darker green center with chartreuse leaf edges. I specifically ordered plants advertised as green and white because the mix I got in 2021 turned out to be plants that were all very small at full size, and a plain green in color. I'm disappointed that half of the plants in this order were not the color combination I expected.
Great pretty hosta
All ten came up though a rabbit took one out. Otherwise the other 9 though small are healthy gorgeous hostas. The center white margins with green edging on the wavy curly leaves are really beautiful.
