H. 'Avocado'

The annual crapshoot that is the purchase of bare root bagged Hosta from Costco was supposed to give us 4 of this variety. As they started to unfurl their leaves it became evident that yet again we have another example of contents not matching the label. Best guess at this point is that we in fact have 2 different cultivars in the package, with quite possibly 2 of those being as labeled, the other 2 are definitely not. Of those latter 2 it seems the larger one probably is 'Wolverine', the other one is a little too small yet to make that call, but could well be the same.

While the content didn't match the labeling, thank goodness 2 of the 4 crowns were at least of a fragrant flowered variety: 'Fragrant Bouquet'.
