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 July 18, 2026 we visited NWHS members Todd and Susan Heller’s Garden. As you can see by the pictures below, they have a spectacular, full spectrum garden with annuals that accent perennials in both their full sun and shade gardens, all set off by creative garden art! What a wonderful time admiring their many hosta varieties while conversing with friends in their beautiful garden. Thank you, Susan, for making your garden available for us to tour and to both of you for sharing your creative techniques and secrets.
