H. Gold Standard

This Gold Standard variety is one of the Hostas that did quite well during the drought this summer. The slug population was quite minimal throughout the gardens this summer but some still managed to chomp here and there ... i hope they got eaten by the birds ... lol

Many thanks for dropping by.

[Pam Hawkes]

This is a beautiful hosta! Nice colours and textures on the leaves.

Its beautiful, mine all turned brown and died, from too many 100 degree days... hoping they will come back....

i have no hostas so i like this. :-) are those mushrooms real or just props?

[Cindy Muir]

It looks wonderful - and I'm still loving those tiny, perfect little toadstools hiding behind it!

@summerfield @cmuir1963 thanks ladies! vikki, they're made of clay. cindy, i bought them one year in the fall and put them away for the winter before putting them in the garden --- took me two years to find them again so i'm extra happy to have them!

[Allison Maltese]

They still look beautiful. Some of mine suffered horribly this year and are mostly shriveled and brown. Love that perfectly chewed line down the middle!

Beautiful hosta! I enjoy their foilage as much their blooms. Nice plant!

Beautiful! I have this one too but mine suffered a bit of sun damage. @lyno I discovered a way to deter slugs, it might help you - if you have access to some ash from a wood fire (I saved them up during the winter) sprinkle them around the base of each Hosta. Slugs won't cross that line, the ashes would kill them!

[Myrna O'Hara]

This is a great one. Love the hole in the leaf.

[Carole Imes]

Beautiful plant and I like the cute little mushroom figures in the back. I bet you have a lovely garden.

Such beautiful colours on these leaves. I hope the birds found the slugs too!
