Hallson Gardens

jgh, I believe Owen was referring to the "what would you do?" thread (currently on page 2). It started out ok, till a well-known GW member put his 2 cents in, and it all went downhill from there. It can get pretty mean spirited over there sometimes. I am there regularly hoping to glean information a...

I have had poor growth on Clifford's Stingray, Revolution (seems to get smaller each year), and my Last Dance is a dud. I finally put my Tokudama Aureonebulosa out of it's misery last year.

You've got a beautiful GE there! I had heard that if you grow your GE in a pot for it's first couple of years, it grows better. I think it likes to have it's roots confined.

Great choices! Two of my favorites
Yours look great!

Hi Mark, That's really a bummer that you've had 3 that went nowhere. Were all 3 tried in the same garden location? What type of soil did you have them in? I have 2 Sagae's, bought at the same time (well, I bought one and separated the two divisions right away). I planted one in my front yard, which ...

I have Sun Worshipper, but it was new to me this year, so it's not very big.

Very nice Chris!

This one is new to me this year, and is already one of my favorites.

I really like this one. This is it's 2nd year in my garden.

One of my all-time favorites!

Mine is new, purchased in August. I immediately divided it:

Mine is 2 years old:

How beautiful June looks in a mass planting!

It's a favorite of mine! I have 2. The first one grows in mid-day sun, 11:00-2:00. The second one is in sun from about 1:00-3:00. Both are young, less than 3 yrs old.

One of my favorite blues!

Mine is kind of buried by other hostas. I need to move Gypsy Rose to a more open spot. Mine is pretty young yet.

I love this one! I just ordered it from Chris & can't wait to see it come up next spring. Here is a picture I took from our local public garden:

Here's mine, tucked into too much shade on the north side of my house. I plan on relocating it next year to a sunnier spot.

My Marilyn Monroe is just putting up scapes now, and I'm not sure why it is so late. I got it last year, and I don't remember when it bloomed then. The flowers are not even close to opening, so I may not get to see them open before the frost hits. :( The plant is in full sun, and after a couple week...

Ann, I think you are on to something there... I actually noticed that phenomenon just recently. Someone on another forum was talking about "Sara's Sensation" showing burning on it's leaves just like Frances Williams. I thought, mine doesn't burn at all, it looks gorgeous. So I was going to post a pi...
