What are the most common hostas?
We would say that until the late 1980’s there were primarily five common hostas in the Twin Cities before the use of tissue culture propagation: undulata albomarginata, undulata veriegata, lancifolia, undulata erromenia, and plantagenia. These varieties are fast-growing and multipliers. However, they have thinner leaves that can attract slugs and are not nearly as beautiful or unique as some of the new hybrids now available.

We would say that until the late 1980’s there were primarily five common hostas in the Twin Cities before the use of tissue culture propagation: H. ‘undulata albomarginata,’ H. ‘undulata veriegata,’ H. ‘lancifolia,’ H. ‘undulata erromenia,’ and H. ‘plantagenia.’ They have thinner leaves that can attract slugs and burn and are not nearly as beautiful or unique as some of the new hybrids now available.
