Re: Hosta of the Day 'Salute' - Post Your Pics
really like tho open plan idea of this hosta however what it looks like after several years of growth will it have lost the space etc between leaves?? I think it would be an ideal candidate for a small pot as it looks now very star shaped sateley and indvidual.
