The HOSTA LISTS of Don Rawson represent a compilation of 70 individual lists which group hosta cultivars and species according to various facts and characteristics. These lists have been compiled over a twelve year period, and are revised and updated annually. The lists are part of the notebook of the West Michigan Hosta Society.

Containing over 10,000 entries, the 70 lists represent the most complete and accurate collection of hosta lists available anywhere. Hosta names are faithfully and carefully checked for accuracy against the AHS Hosta Registry and The Hostapedia: An Encyclopedia of Hostas (Mark R. Zilis, 2009). The HOSTA LISTS have displayed their usefulness in years past and will continue to be an invaluable and indispensible resource for hosta gardeners everywhere.
