Mertensia Virginica

Update--I still haven't seen this variety of Hosta! Went back to the nursery today & questioned someone about the plant--the sign for the hosta was in front of it--the hosta hadn't started to grow yet! So very deceptive! THis is what it is really called! I'd never seen this variety of Hosta before--was planted at a nursery that I went to last week--think I might have to go back & get one! My yard is very shady & I know Hostas do well all over the yard. According to what I read online, the flowers are supposed to be lavender colored & this hosta is a sport of the hosta " Guacamole" ( no wonder I like it--I love Guacamole) and was hosta of the year in 2006.

Pretty plant!

That's beautiful! I bet the Arizona sun could incinerate that plant in about 2 hours. I miss all the pretty blooms that were possible with the maritime climate.
