A BRIDGEWOOD GARDENS INTRODUCTION
505100 Big Bopper Bridgewood Gardens NR
An ‘Uncle Albert’ hybrid with large glossy medium green leaves, wide at the base and tapering to a sharp point.  It’s kikutii background is apparent from its leaf shape, its deeply impressed veins, and its low spreading habit.  Its flower scapes bend toward the ground and are held somewhat horizontally, a trait it inherits from both H. kikutii var. caput-avis and H. hypoleuca., from which ‘Uncle Albert’ is bred.  Flowers are near-white.

506300 Blue Angel Aden 1986
There are a great many large blue cultivars, some say too many. This one has large, heart-shaped leaves, not puckered but nicely veined. It is probably of sieboldiana lineage, but seems to be faster growing and less crinkled than most of the sieboldiana hybrids. It also seems to get larger than most. I have been told of, but have not seen, a single clump that is 10’ across. Even if yours doesn’t break any records, its likely to be one of the largest Hostas in your garden.  White flowers.

508100 Blue Mouse Ears E & J Deckert 1998

This has often been listed as a miniature, but it has been found to grow larger than originally thought and the leaf size exceeds the AHS limit for miniatures.  Rounded blue leaves with excellent substance form a tight mound.  Really cute.

A BRIDGEWOOD GARDENS INTRODUCTION

510150 Braveheart Winterberry Farms Not Registered
This is our introduction of a plant that originated at Winterberry Farms.  We discovered this plant in a batch of tissue culture liners of ‘Invincible’ we received from them. It is apparently a tetraploid form of ‘Invincible’, with thicker, darker leaves, glossy, with slightly wavy margins.  Both its flower and scape are larger than ‘Invincible’.  I’m told by Bob Solberg that if it is a true tetraploid (it has not been tested) the fragrance will also be stronger, but I am no judge of such things.

510800 Bright Lights  Aden NR
 A larger and much faster growing form of tokudama ‘Aureonebulosa’. Leaves are heavily textured and puckered, yellow with blue margins. As you can see by the pictures if you click on the thumbnail, its appearance depends on the amount of light it gets, with brighter coloring resulting from more sun. It seems to handle quite a bit of sun here, given sufficient water, but I think it looks much better in medium light. White flowers

511050 Brother Stephan $24.95 Petryszyn 1998 (Large)  Olga Petryszyn is best known for her beautiful, mostly large leaved solid color hybrids such as ‘Manhattan’, ‘Hoosier Dome’ and many others.  Of the few variegated hostas she has introduced, I think this is definitely the most spectacular. The leaf has a gold maple leaf center and a dark green margin, with chartreuse streaks between the center and margin.  The leaf is broadly heart-shaped and heavily puckered.  Flowers are near-white.  Truly spectacular.
