While planning for an upcoming club auction, one member of the committee
said that we should all bring something good--no junk like 'Honeybells'.
It got me to thinking, whats wrong with this hosta? Yes, its real
common, maybe for a good reason. The flowers are fragrant, it tolerates
sun tremendously (doesn't burn much), gets real big and it grows faster
than any cultivar I can think of. It can be used as a place holder in
new beds, while waiting for others to mature. As I have much to share, I
think I will pot up a whole clump of Honeybell for the auction; ) Maybe
even some 'Sugar and Cream', its variegated sister. I bet there is at
least one person in my club who would appreciate it.
What other hosta just don't get the recognition they deserve?
