Currently we are not set up with pictures for each hosta. We hope to add that soon. By going to HostaLibrary.org you
can find pictures for nearly all of these. They often show both young and mature plants in various sunlight conditions.

(10"H x 15"H) Lachman 91.
A leaf is 6" long x 2 1/2" wide; the central white area is surrounded with dark green
which bleeds back into the center, establishing a lighter green "bridge" between the two areas. The markings are highly irregular,
but with roughly equal amounts of white and green. The leaves have some undulations and the petioles are rose colored. The
structure of the plant effectively displays the colors of cream-white, dark and light greens, and rose. The flowers are violet;
bloom is in July and August.

A sport of 'Zounds.' A slow growing plant. Leaves are brassy yellow, puckered,
and have a broad green margin. Leaves are very pest-resistant. The plant pales in sun. It looks best in 3/4 shade. 'Midwest
Magic' is a similar sport.

it more vigor and better growing ability. Nice, patterned creamy-white center. Flowers are near white in late
spring.

(16"H x 20"W) Walters Garden 88
Reverse of ‘Golden Tiara,’ its leaves a gold to light green with a variable, dark green margin. As with the rest of the Tiara series, Emerald Tiara multiplies rapidly and is great for borders. Interesting contrast when planted along with Golden Tiara. Violet
flowers.
