The Color Encyclopedia of Hostas

This is a great book for Hosta lovers. I like the way it is organized by color. It also has great info on their growth habit (ie, whether they get to their ultimate size quickly or slowly) and how to site the yellows for maximum color by telling how they form the yellow pigmentation, which is how much chlorophyll they inhibit. I also like how they tell you what hostas are similar. As any hosta afficionado knows,there are many hostas that are similar, so if you can't get the one you want you can try to find a similar one. The pictures are good, but as with any hosta photos it is hard to tell size from a photo alone, so you will have to read the narrative. If there is one hosta book you need, I think this is the best.


The Color Encyclopedia of Hostas

Outstanding book with great explanations. I have a number of varieties of Hostas and the book is extremely helpful on identification and information


An Excellent Guide For Hosta Lovers

This book is well presented in its format. Hostas are introduced by the color of their leaves, guiding the reader from green to blue to yellow and so on with pictures of each example. Information for each hosta is given according to its size, form, and special needs. There is even a section for the unusual hosta that a collector might want to own. Overall, an excellent book to own.
