Abstract
'Blue Edge' (Hosta minor) was induced by ethyle methane sulfonate (EMS) to obtain mutants. Among induced leaf variegated hosta plants, some with deep-green color pattern on the edge of the leaves was selected. They were cultivated via vegetative propagation. Assessment of botanical characteristics was conducted for three years since 2003. The major characteristic of these cultivars is that they maintain their deep-green color on the edge of the leaves all year round. These cultivars are useful as materials for pot plant or as ground cover plant.
