LIVONIA

Hosta `Livonia', lavender, 28", July-August. MEDIUM. From good friend Walter Cullerton come this original stock of yet another GREEN hosta! The guy got into collection green hostas back when he was young(3 score and 10yrs ago!). So he brings this one to a Tri State Hosta meeting for the auction. Well, would ya know?! No one bids on it! IT'S GREEN! Walter got it, thoug, from Peter Ruh who got it from Gus Krossa! Ya see where I'm going with this?! Let's get the description outta-the-way before you click out! MEDIUM. Shiny green foliage 15"high by 20"wide. Leaves 8.5"long by 3.5"wide. Bright purple scapes 20-36" in July-August. Forms dense patched/clumps as it tends to be rhizomatous(underground stolons). Shiny, smooth textured.(these are my own ideas, haven't checked the registrars detals, IS REGISTERED!) I happen to look for it as I was thinking of Walter's intros that I had and this was easy to find in the house! That is if your looking for it alphabetically and know Russell gardens Wholesale has the honor on knowing the nations foremost GREEN HOSTA collector! Thanks Walter, and thanks Tri-State for "trying to auction" it!
