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.

Spring is one of the best times of the year – after the long winter we watch with anticipation as our plants begin to emerge. Unfortunately, the Lily Leaf Beetles begin to emerge alongside our beloved plants. Two of our NWHS members have already reported seeing these destructive beetles this spring! You should be checking your lilies now – they especially like your high priced martagons.
