Hallson Gardens

Hmmm....maybe if you didn't cover untill after the ground freezes. The mice will probably have made little mouse houses elsewhere. Most of my 'plant burn' occurs in March when the winter snows have melted so I dont' think that waiting untill late Dec or Jan would hurt. P.S love the close up hosta ph...

Mouse bait? Lol Sorry I have a mental picture of you uncovering your beautiful phlox only to find a mouse morgue....ewwww

I have noticed the 'winter burn' as well...I think your idea of covering it would reduce or eliminate the winter burn completely. I have never cut mine back but sometimes I sit there and manicure out the dead parts (wayyyyy too much time on my hands obviously).

LOL...gee you really gave it some thought!!! That is some list...thanks, I will further research the list

Thank you for the suggestions, I will look them up. I actually have June in 2 spots in my garden. One spot gets a lot more sun then the other and I agree the coloration is better in the shade. Here it sort of bleaches out and screams "I am stressed" but then again, it maybe asking for a sip of water.

Thank you Linda and Pieter, I will look them up....I think I may have so sweet tucked away in another shadier garden and it is not happy there so perhaps I will move it come spring....and Pieter, I agree about not trusting people who don't have dog hair on their clothes lol.

May I have some suggestions for some small/medium sized sun tolerant hostas that are stunning? I want to mix them in with daylilys (I love the spiky/flat leaved contrast) but only have so much room.

thank you.......here is another shot for size with imperial treasure (who sadly passed away last spring)

this is a daylily that was given to me but I don't know who it is...it is tall but the flowers are not large 3- 3 1/2. I am thinking it is a older variety.
