Hosta of the Day - Redolent Nosegay

[redcrx]

Redolent Nosegay is a sport of Fragrant Bouquet. It looks like Fragrant Bouquet but "The Hostapedia" notes the center of RN is darker. I have noticed that Redolent Nosegay seems to want to "streak" a little.

I got this plant in 2010. It was planted in a small patch at the front of my backyard with about five other plants. They were put into pots in the 2013 season.

Continuing with Redolent Nosegay late in the 2011 season and with flowers

This is the same plant - those big streaked leaves shown on the previous page are now buried under the newer foliage. It has put up a leaf with some chartreuse on it.

Redolent Nosegay early in the 2012 season

Starting out with a really interesting flush to the right but the deer grazed this area so it never developed

End of season when it recovered from the deer

And in the 2013 season in a pot - the left leaf is showing that it was stepped on, that's why I had it had to be moved
