Agave 'Kissho Kan'
The top-left photo of Hosta 'Touch of Class' PP#13,080 is one of our newer outstanding introductions. It was discovered and registered by H. Hansen of Shady Oaks Nursery. It emerges in the spring with intense blue leaves with a gold flame in the leaf center. A green pattern occurs where the gold and blue overlap. Being a tetraploid of Hosta 'June', the leaves have an incredible thick substance for great slug resistance and are held more upright than 'June'. Lavender flowers top the clump in midsummer.

Carex 'Treasure Island' PP#16,332 is another awesome selection by H. Hansen of Shady Oaks Nursery. The white margined sport of 'Island Brocade' has a 6-inch tall clump that slowly spreads to produce a nice ground cover. A good contrast to hostas and ferns in the lightly shaded landscape. Hardy in zone 5 to 8.

Hosta 'Hanky Panky' PP#16,217 is another recent introduction registered by H. Hansen. This unusual hosta has been described by nurserymen as "unlike any hosta we have ever seen" and "you've never seen a hosta like this before." Occuring as a natural sport of 'Striptease', 'Hanky Panky' emerges in the spring with dark green leaves edged with a pale lime edge. An ivory halo separates the center from the margin. As the summer progresses, the center brightens to a creamy-yellow color as the "Striptease-pattern" changes to a dark green and the margin then becomes near white. Lavender flowers top the vigorous clump in midsummer.

These highlighted plants are just a small sample of the varieties we have either introduced or brought into our collection. Our breeding program led by H. Hansen has introduced the Hosta varieties 'Fire and Ice', 'Pandora's Box', 'Hope', 'Cherish', 'Titanic' PP#12,402, 'Touch of Class' PP#13,080, 'Old Glory' PP#12,503, 'Stained Glass' (Hosta of the Year 2006), 'May', 'Earth Angel' (Hosta of the Year 2009), 'Dance With Me', 'American Sweetheart', 'High Society' PP#17,313, 'American Icon' PP#17,441, 'Dark Shadows', 'Hanky Panky', PP#16,217, 'Journey's End' PP#16,895, 'Lonesome Dove' PP#17294, 'Mourning Dove' PP#17,311, 'Prairie Sky' PP#17,309, 'Yesterday's Memories' 'Country Mouse', 'Imp', 'Restless Sea', 'Sweet Innocence', 'Atlantis' PP#17,093 (jointly with T. Avent), 'Cathedral Windows' PP#17,295, Extasy PPRA, 'Neptune' PPAF, 'Rain Dancer', 'Roy Klehm' PPAF, 'Spartacus' and 'Vulcan'.
