Did you know…
Most hostas thrive best in shade or partial sun. However, the hosta is a rugged plant and can adapt itself to its surroundings. This makes it a low maintenance and attractive plant.
Hosta ‘Lakeside Paisley Print’ was originated and introduced by M. Chastain in 2006. A distinguishing feature is center leaf markings that shoot out from petiole. It originates as a 1st generation division of the original seedling. ‘Lakeside Paisley Print’ reaches a height of about 10 inches with a width of 30 inches. See the full characteristics in the Hosta Treasury.

Thirty-eight NWHS members were treated to a wonderful luncheon on March 1st at Cowboy Jacks before our 2026 Planning Meeting. What a great turnout and productive meeting to establish this year’s upcoming events! We elected Tami Gillis as Vice President and look forward the additional ideas and activities she is planning. We talked extensively about our annual plant sale – we need lots of member plant donations! We were given the opportunity to purchase at club prices some of the newer varieties of hostas that John ordered. Any hostas not purchased will be sold at the plant sale.
There were many ideas and dates tossed around for this year’s bus trip. John will try to set up a trip to the Minnesota Hosta Society plant sale and Savory’s Gardens on June 6th. We also set up three member gardens to tour and determined the date for the annual auction. More information on these events can be found on this site’s calendar. Finally, as at all our events, we enjoyed the conversations and comradery that hostas, the “Friendship Plant,” brings.
