Hosta blossoms range from dark purple to white, and are born on scapes, lasting for several weeks. New hostas develop when some cultivars set seed or when a plant ‘sports’. A hosta sport is a change in leaf pattern or color which occurs in an existing plant.
Hosta ‘Dancing Queen’ was introduced by K. Terpening in 2005. It come from an original seedling with pod parent H. ‘Split Personality’ and pollen parent unknown. Dancing Queen reaches a height of about 18 inches and a width of 30 inches. See the full characteristics in the Hosta Treasury.

On June 20th, NWHS members visited Dorothy and Micheal’s gorgeous garden featuring a wide variety of hostas and companion plants. Meticulously arranged, the hostas really showed off their striking color assortments against a dark mulch backdrop under the shade of numerous old grove oak trees. What a perfect setting for a shade garden and the garden art accents made it delightfully inviting! We were very fortunate that Dorothy offered her garden to tour on short-notice – our sincere thanks for making it happen.
