Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the leaf growth and flowering characteristics of 85 Hosta cultivars. The 85 cultivars were grown in a pot in Useful Plant Resources Center in Yangpyeong, Korea. H. ‘Abiqua Blue Crinkles’, H. ‘Abiqua Drinking Gourd’, H. ‘Dancing in the Rain’, H. ‘Elegance’, H. ‘Inniswood’, and H. ‘Venus’ were classified as a large size group (> 50 ㎝), while 27 cultivars including H. ‘Abby’, H. ‘Birchwood Parky’s Gold’, H. ‘Blue Cadet’, and H. ‘Blue Edge’ were classified as a small size group (< 20 ㎝). The others were classified as a medium size groups. 79% of Hosta cultivars had leaf variegation. Leaf variegation type was divided into 5 types (standard, marginata, mediovarigata, albomaculata, striata). Among them 31 cultivars including H. ‘Abby’, H. ‘Abiqua Moonbeam’, and H. ‘Atlantis’ has a variegation type of marginata in the leaf. 36 cultivars including H. ‘Abby’, H. ‘Abiqua Drinking Gourd’, and H.‘Abiqua Moonbeam’ bloomed in late May and 9 cultivars including H. ‘Black Hills’, H. ‘Boeun’, and H. ‘Fragrant Bouquet’ started to flower on late August. Most flowers were below 3.0 ㎝ in length, while H. ‘Avocado’ was longest on 10.0 ㎝. Most flowers have a lavender color group (63.5%), and 14 cultivars of Hosta showed white color group (16.5%). 12 cultivars including H. ‘Blue Mouse Ears’, H. ‘Captain Kirk’, and H. ‘Fragrant Bouquet’ had the fragrance in their flowers. H. ‘Cherry Berry’ and H. ‘Revolution’ had a colorful stalk, red and yellow, respectively.
