All White Hosta?
Ok y'all, I'm out of options to figure this out.
I was at a garden club sale in mid-May and the hostess of the sale had a hosta that was all white. This plant has been haunting me and I must have it. I've tried googling "all white hosta" and come up with very little.
I did find h.White Feather, but it appears that this changes color to green later in the season.
So, are there any hostas that are all white for the whole season?
And if there are only color changing ones, what do you recommend?
There are hostas that are all white in the spring and then turn color as the season progresses. Others don't change color, but have leaves that are mostly white. As Ken said, hostas which are all (or mostly) white are not very vigorous because of lack of chlorophyll. Most would die if planted in much shade. On the otherhand, some will scortch or melt out if planted in full sun. Many are difficult and slow to grow and must have optimum conditions. I think many are slug food also.
With all this said, some white-leaved hostas are attractive and worth the effort. Here's a list of hostas that have a lot of white on the leaf, or emerge in the spring mostly white. Print the list off and spend some time scanning the Hosta Library. Don
PS Let me know of any corrections or additions.

WOW!!! Thank you all. I guess I hadn't put on my old 8th grade biology hat to think about the whole chlorphyl business. And it's good to know too that if I do plan one of these whiter hostas, it'll need more than just the minimial sun that my garden mostly provides.
I do, however, have a small section that gets a good amount of dappled sun, so I think that might be a good spot to set aside for one of these wonders.
I'm halfway considering going and knocking on the door of the lady who hosted the sale, just to ask her of the variety!!!
Thank you all!
I have an all white hosta that grew along side a "patriot" Hosta...I seperated it and potted it up and it is currently in my greenhouse. All the newleaves are still coming up white...only 1 leaf has a green strip down the centere no wider than 1/8"....I do keep it heavily shaded becasue it will burn. I thought that I would watch it this year and next to see exactly what it does. Has anyone else ever had a "mutant hosta" that stayed true?
Just curious
"I have an all white hosta that grew along side a "patriot" Hosta"
I have the same thing happening right now. I actually purchased THAT Patriot JUST CUZ it had the "mutant". I was thinking of doing the same thing with it... hopefully someone will have a success to share with us.
Is that officially called a "sport"?
There is a new hosta coming on the market this year called "White Elephant".
Remember when I posted about this 2 years ago?
Well, I went back to that sale today and the hostess from 2 years ago was there. She told me it was White Wall Tires!
So, guess what I will be buying???
Hers faced west, my location would be east-facing, so hopefully, I'll still have a good show of white!
i tried hosta 'white feathers' from veseys... no success
gave up on it.
it's still readily available through veseys
on a side note, i have two eyes on 'night before christmas' that start off like all the others and end up completely white by the end of the season. they've been doing this for two seasons now. can't wait to see what happens this year :)
Here is a link that might be useful: white feathers
I need to find a Hosta that is yellow. I need a lot of color in front of a shed. I have seen a lot of pretty yellow Hostas but can not figure out what would be truly a great yellow. I have seen one with curly edges but can not find it again. I need one that is med. to large.

Huge Vase Fountians....
Have any of you turned a LARGE Ceramic Vase into a fountian? If so, does the insided need to be glazed? I would appreciate any experience shared with this type of fountian....Thanks in advance.
I made a bowling ball/penny fountain and suspended it above/inside a very large bell shaped garden pot. It is tera cotta and not glazed. I read a lot of techniques here and ended up not glazing or painting the inside. It ran all summer and did not sweat too bad. I had it outside on my deck. We brought it in for the winter.
I bought a large Vietnamese ceramic pot at COSTCO last summer, big enough to hold a three-year-old, that already had two holes in the bottom. It was glazed on the outside only. Following directions in a BHG article, I
- painted the inside of the pot with several layers of deck sealer, which I let dry for about a week,
- pushed the plug of a pump through one hole and caulked around the wire with exterior-grade silicon caulk (I left about a foot of the cord free inside the pot),
- caulked a right-angled hose connector into the other hole (thus preventing the hose from kinking on its way out of the pot and also allowing for easier disassembly for winter)
- ran one short hose inside the pot from the pump to the connector, and another much longer hose outside the pot up a fence, where I connected it to
- another right-angle connector I caulked into the back of a Toscano Bacchus-face sculpture, which already has a three-inch length of hose sticking out of the mouth. The mask is hung about five feet up on the fence, so the stream from its mouth arcs back into the pot.
Result: a homemade spouting Bacchus fountain for about $130, pump and hoses included. I have water plants that come inside for the winter, and I plan to buy new feeder goldfish to stock the pot as soon as the weather is reliably warmer. The deck sealer didn't seem to hurt last year's fish.
Does this help?

Very nice, Jan!
Very nice, Jan!
I always enjoy looking at your garden.
I'm glad to see you didn't line your beds with little rocks like a lot of amateurs do.
You have inspired me to start grafting at the ripe old age of 69. I should have done it years ago. I have rooted thousands of plants over the years , but never grafted.
