Shady Oaks Wholesale Hosta Agave Heuchera Yucca and Perennial liners

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.

Silene caroliniana 'Bubblegum' is another awesome selection by H. Hansen of Shady Oaks Nursery. This is one of our over-looked native perennials that is a great addition to the spring garden. Multitudes of pink star-like flowers cover the dark green foliage in late April, early May. 'Bubblegum' prefers well-drained soils in full sun and is an excellent candidate for the rock garden. Hardy in Zone 4 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.

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), 'Risky Business' (jointly with T.
