Re: Hosta of the Day - "Wolverine" - Post Your Pics
Wolverine does have a great cascading shape Looks even better in a pot or better still a pot inside an old tall chimney pot Not certain what you call them over there maybe chimney stacks, any way looks fantastic with its cascading habit as would pineapple upside down maybe even Elvis Lives

Better to remove flowers???
Some of my hosta are in their first year from nurseries. Is it better to allow them to flower and leave them or better to remove scapes and let them use less energy for next year. Not a great fan to hosta flowers anyway unless they scented Guacamole still to flower despite getting massive
