My Wolverine has been a good grower and one of my favorites. It holds up very well in a reasonably sunny area.

Masquerade has been a good mini. I started with one tiny single eye of this plant and have nursed it along to the large patch shown below. It does revert, however each spring I simply remove the green leaves to keep it going. It is growing in a fair amount of sun and does not burn out. http://i113.p...

Go for it. I believe this is the most attractive hosta on the market. I am on my third plant and have come to the conclusion that I should just treat it as an annual.

Wishing for Spring, I'm so ready. There is still some snow in the back yard and it's April....

Linda, I really like your ruffled volunteer - the ruffle seems unique - deep and folding upwards around the leaf. Nice!

Happy Hosta Holidays to you too Josh!

I have never had any problem with Aristocrat. I also grow it in a fair amount of shade. This plant is about 8 years old:

I have been working on catching up with all the weeds that grew in June and July during the rainiest summer I can ever remember...an ever-continuing project. Today I cleaned and expanded the bed next to my potting shed. I put in about 8 hosta that were waiting for planting, plus moved a large War Pa...

Where did you get the nice tags to mark your crosses. The last time I was crossing, I was using a colored string system and it was a nightmare to tie ...never mind keep track of...

Very nice seedlings. Continental Divide is lovely. I am curious...why is the vault so high - what are you keeping out?

Good story. Funny thing those darn cats...

I want to thank John – my secret trader. He sent a wonderful package chock-a-block full of hosta. It was so much fun unwrapping the individually wrapped plants to discover which plants were inside. John most generously sent 6 hostas from my wish list, including Sea Wiggles, Radiant Edger, August Moo...

I was driving down the highway today and saw a truck filled with upright, bright orange hazzard cones. However, all I really saw was "hosta eyes". Then I thought...hmmm, if I could get my hands on about five of those cones, I could plant them in the ground, photograph them, and create an interesting...

Very nice and I love the "jaw dropper"! I also wish I had that kind of space - I don't even know what to do with the green kids...

I get Fine Gardening and I have been drooling over that front cover shot for three weeks. I can see the pic clearly and while photoshop can do wonders - I really do think Montana Aureomarginata is growing in that location. I know these magazines will set the stage for the photo. A friend was feature...

I never get tired of Great Expectations! GE is my favorite, even if it is tempermental.
Here's a picture of my beauty - not as large as yours...

I really like the subtle variegation too! Some of my subtle favorites are hosta like Made You Look and Lakeside Symphony. Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the advice notmartha and Chris. I just added my first large grass to the garden. While it is not large this year, I have the same problem with a siberian iris in my perennial garden. I recently dug it up, cut it in junks and gave away a lot of it - just because it was housing voles. I wil...

Vole activity is picking up as the fall progresses. I have taken everyone's advice on how to fight voles and have tried poison in cans, poison in holes, mouse traps and I reluctantly spread a vole deterant late this summer. I have read that deterants will only move them elsewhere. I'm trying to head...

Hi Poppi,
Some members of another forum have reported receiving their copy - just last week. I am watching the mail box too!
