Welcome hostafarian's of planet Earth. The Mid-West is still very cold and a new layer of snow on the ground. What is the hot new hosta for spring 2008? I don't know? I was not invited to that event this year. So I will make my own picks of must haves, can't live without, and Wow! how cool is that one.

click Hosta 'FAUX KARO'

This is a Hosta 'Ventricosa' seedling the odd thing is the seeds came from a red pod. On the mother plant there was only one red pod and not true to the mother plant as you can see. The leaves are so smooth even the underside no rib of the vein to me reminds me of beef liver, yes I know that is a odd visual. A 2005 seedling interesting for a greenie.
