Abstract: A new cultivar of Hosta named ‘Silk Road’, a chimeral mutation of Hosta ‘Silk Kimono’, characterized by its unique variegated foliage with deep green centers and wide creamy yellow to creamy white margins comprising about one half of the leaf area. ‘Silk Road’ has an upright plant habit of large broadly ovate leaves held horizontally on erect petioles and blooms with pale lavender flowers held on erect flower scapes in mid summer.
Abstract: A new and unique cultivar of Hakonechloa named ‘Naomi’ that is characterized by its variegated foliage that is creamy white to yellow green with green bands in the spring and summer and turning deep red to deep purple in fall. As the mature foliage changes to a red and purple with cool temperatures, a combination of summer and fall foliage creates a unique combination of foliage color. ‘Naomi’ is further characterized by its dwarf plant habit, its hardiness in U.S.D.A. Zones 5 to 9, and its relatively vigorous growth habit.
Abstract: A new and unique cultivar of Hakonechloa named ‘Nicolas’ that is characterized by its green to yellow green foliage in the spring and summer that turns deep red fall. As the mature foliage changes to a red with cool temperatures, a combination of summer and fall foliage creates a unique combination of foliage color. ‘Nicolas’ is further characterized by its dwarf plant habit, its hardiness in U.S.D.A. Zones 5 to 9, and its relatively vigorous growth habit.
