- Hosta are much more to me than just pretty shade garden plants - they hold a memory of fun outings or family members that gifted them to me!

Hi, my name is Oksana and I'm hostaholic 😆
😂
Oksana, what about your hosta garden? Maybe you can create a video tour too? Because it's difficult now to find new videos with hostas.
@@user-dc7im3ez9s Unfortunately, my garden is located in Ukraine, where military operations are taking place, and I now live in the USA
Nice video! I love hostas too! I have around 90 different varieties so far! I think my top three favourites large ones are: Liberty, Bridal falls and goodness gracious! But i also love diamond lake, sum and substance, france williams ect! Some smaller ones that i love are Wheee!, all the ones in the halcyon family (june, touch of class, first frost, autumn frost, blue ivory, ect). I also love many of the blue ones and with ruffled edges like waterslide, neptune, hope spring is eternal…:). Hostas are so much fun and many of mine comes from my mom who is also a hosta lover, so i agree they hold a lot of memories :). Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! I'm a fellow collector 😎 😁
I can't recall which one is my most expensive. It's very possibly Empress Wu, because I remember seeking it out the year it was new. And having to buy it twice, because the first one died. 😂
Favorites change, I will always LOVE June and Rainbow' s End, but I think it's currently a tie between American Halo, and Risky Business; because they both put on size very quickly after planting, and were a massive presence within a couple of years. I like the biggies ❤
Ohhhh now I think I’ll be looking for Risky Business and American Halo! June is a beauty that I have to buy soon too!
Same experience, now my 2nd one is growing large and beautiful.
All of them are my favorite. Love your hosta's.
Thank you! They’re like old friends I get to see every year ❤️
Those white centred hostas at the very end of the video, likely undulata mediovariegata.
Thanks!
I love Hosta and I think the deer does too.
My current favorite in my hosta collection is probably Guacamole. I think the hostas I paid the most for were my Empress Wu hostas since they were installed by my landscaper after I begged him to find some for me! Thankfully I have been able to divide them and have many more than the two he planted.
I think I want to plan a hosta destination trip that includes Land of the Giants Hosta Farm in Milton WI.
Yes Land of the Giants is on my bucket list! Guacamole is definitely a beauty - I love it too!
I never knew that wild impatiens (aka jewelweed) helped with relieving poison ivy rash! Thanks for that info. Plus, jewelweed is pretty in flower. Bonus.
I go to Walmart or Walgreens to get tencu and that what I use cause I have Carolina creeper everywhere
Love hosta also. I love your philosophy on gardening! I may
have to borrow it. I hate leaving unnecessary space, thinking I will move something when it gets crowded. Often that doesn't happen! Thanks for sharing.
Great collection. I also collect hosta
Hostas are fun to collect! 🙂
Yes I fell under First Blush’s spell too (but only $40) and cried when she died 6 months later! At least you still have yours!😬
Time to buy another one? I’ve seen them for much less now!
You are so cute with the hostas! I am new to hosta, but want to expand my collection. Loved your video. WOW on the hosta island!
Super! You have got a huge territory so you will be able to add more hostas and more pleasant memories!
Time to go hosta shopping and make more memories! ❤️
There was a hosta that was unnamed. That is so beautiful. Hudson Bay? Dream Weaver/Queen? You pull the leaf out of the way @ 9:41.
I’m right over the border in Southwick, don’t have a favorite Hosta but Goodness Gracious would definitely be on the list of favorites, I like variegated plants very much . Recently I’ve been looking for a Halcyon Hosta , haven’t seen one yet
What a stunning collection! Was the truck driver ok?
Love your Goodness Gracious! Thanks for sharing your garden. You helped me identify one of my hostas, Blue Cadet. It was labeled Elegans when I purchased it as a tiny plant but as it slowly grew it became obvious that it was not Elegans but I did not know what it was.
I sooo enjoyed this episode. Thank you for sharing. I have four so far. Gold Standard, Francee, Patriot, and Minuteman. I might have to start adding 🤭Also enjoyed your singing ☺️Thank you. 🙏🏻🌷
Thank you! 🙂
Good choice on Goodness Gracious as your favourite. It’s one of mine too. Massive! And what fantastic variegation! ❤
It’s a beauty!
I’m thinking that the 2 hostas from your grandmother are likely lancifolia on the left and erromena on the right. Very old varieties that were in everyone’s gardens for decades. Google pics to compare.
When you move Cool as a Cucumber give it lots of room. It’s huge! Wish I could post a pic of mine to show you just how big it is!
Good to know!
I bought Goodness Gracious last year and am so looking forward to seeing it grow. I also have Dream Weaver which is stunning as is Orion's Belt. Avocado is stunning too. I can't pick one. Lol
Oooooh I’m putting Dream Weaver on the list! Avocado is a beauty too!
Nice video! I love hostas too! I have around 90 different varieties so far! I think my top three large ones are: Liberty, Bridal falls and goodness gracious!

@MarylineMallet thanks for watching! 90 different ones - wow!!
You have quite a collection of gorgeous hostas. My favorite and the most money I paid for at the time is the "First Frost" variety.
First Frost is a beauty!
Lovely garden! Liberty is probably my favorite but Goodness Gracious is in the top 10. It's very difficult to choose since there's so many wonderful hostas. Have you visited Mason Hollow in NH? I've bought from them in person at an AHS convention as well as online/by mail. I'm in the midwest so sadly it's too far for me to visit their nursery. Maybe some day. 🙂
Thanks for mentioning Mason Hollow! 1 hour 41 minutes from me…I’ll do a field trip video when I go!
@@AdventuresinGardening Awesome! I can't wait to see it!
Very beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂
Great timing for me as I’m putting in a huge new shade garden w hydrangea, foxglove, anemone, Solomon seal, fern, and of course hosta! I’m no collector though, I’m more of A hosta scrounger 😅 I’m asking all my neighbors for their divisions lol
Sounds like you’re going to have a beautiful shade garden! Divisions from friends and neighbors are the best!
Transplanted lily of the valley?!?!? 😮😮😮 nooooooo!!!!😮😮😮😂
You just channeled the little voice in my head!😂 I’m pulling them out tomorrow!
The shiny dark green with ruffled edges can be Candy Dish.
Do you know the name to your grandmothers Hosta , the last you showed. I love it!
It’s most likely ’Undulata’. Thanks for watching!
My favorite is June, partly because I love its colors and partly because that’s my mom’s name. Not sure which I’ve paid the most for. None of mine have been super expensive (no new releases, ultra rare ones, etc.).
June is a beauty!
I just loved your video on Hosta’s! It surprised me to see you have a Hosta Andrew. I’ve been searching for one of those for a sentimental a reason. My eldest son just recently died of ALS. His name was Andrew. He is definitely at home with the Lord which gives me peace. It has been on my heart to find a Hosta Andrew to plant in my garden to honor my son. Do you have a nursery near you that would have Hosta Andrew? I live in GA and it would need to be shipped to me. Thank you.
I am so sorry for the loss of your son…I hope you’re able to find this beautiful hosta! It looks like Land of the Giants Hosta Farm has it in stock if you look on their website. Thanks for watching ❤️
Thank you for your response and suggestion. Unfortunately, that website isn’t taking orders. I will continue my search for Hosta Andrew; but, if you see one for sale, please let me know.
I’ll be on the lookout!
I am not an expert but I think you will not like the bamboo where it is later on, the hostas don't like tree root competition. Nice collection. Yes comment after the full video 😁
I should have elaborated on the bamboo…it’s a clumper not a runner called ‘sunset glow’. Logees offers it on their website. Thanks for watching! 🙂
My favorite Hosta is Captain Kirk
Captain Kirk is a beauty! I’ll be on the lookout!
I paid the most for midnight oil and first blush hostas
I’m putting midnight oil on my wishlist!
All that wood chip mulch around the hostas is only helping out the slugs!
Sorry, I didn't catch the idea with the wild impatience. How can we use it?
Not sure if this link will work or not, but here is a younger me explaining how I use it. th-cam.com/video/lBMXvAQdd0I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9i1Y93M5GIo3S_rr
Did I hear a peacock at 22:37?
We have quite a few Catbirds here. They yell at me 😂
