Title: Growth, flowering and leaf character variation of hosta
Abstract: Today many gardeners are praising the virtues of foliage and hosta is one of the best perennial plants for foliage. We conducted a pot experiment to evaluate the performance in growth and flowering through two consecutive years and variation in leaf characters of hosta taxa. We used twelve hosta taxa in the experiment coded from T1-T12. We found significant variation between the taxa for plant height, leaf numbers, single leaf area, chlorophyll content, peduncle length, floret length, and floret numbers in both the year of 2015 and 2016. All growth and flowering characters reduced on the second consecutive year. The reduction range of florets per peduncle was 21.97-36.74% and floret length was 19.89-22.16% on the second consecutive year. Vegetative growth parameters were found as negligible reduction. But, we found noticeable number of leaves reduction for three taxa and these were H. longipes var. gracillima (20.11%), H. sieboldiana (19.92%) and H. montana (16.95%). Leaf vine numbers were 19, 6, 8, 6, 12, 10, 8, 12, 12, 12, 10 and 16 for T1 to T12, respectively. Phenotypic traits variability will help to the future hosta researchers and breeders.
