Hallson Gardens

I wouldn't recommend stomping, mowing, hitting, smashing, crushing, cutting and all those other bad and awful things that make me shudder. If you stomp a hosta, you may get the plant to produce more the current year but at the expense of next year's eyes. If you mow the plant you open it up via all ...

Chartreuse Wiggles was recommended with a qualifier that it does tend to attract slugs due to the thinner substance of its leaves. I grew mine against a fence in my "mini" hosta area where it received bright shade most of the day. I also grew it in a 4-inch raised bed so it never sat with its roots ...

Praying here for everyone affected by the storm. Happy Hosta smile that you and yours are unhurt physically ...
Hugs,

Among my favorites: 'Baby Bunting' 'Cat's Eyes' 'Chartreuse Wiggles' - Can be a 'slug attractor' ... 'Cheatin' Heart' 'Cherish' 'Cracker Crumbs' 'Dragon Tails' 'Green Eyes' 'Green Mouse Ears' 'Hacksaw 'Heart and Soul' 'Pandora's Box' 'Peanut' 'Pewterware' 'Praying Hands' - Just a cool hosta 'Teaspoo...

Note to self ... I have room ... I have room!!!

Renaldo!
Cool Photo! My Blue Arrow sometimes photographs REALLY BLUE in early evening light ... and depending on the light I've had some really great PINK light to work with as well.

So nice to see unfurled hosta!

You are quite a bit ahead of us here in Michigan so it's great to see them all leafed out!

Julia was one of my short-lived hosta. I had it in my garden about three seasons and then one spring it didn't return.

It reminds me a bit of Francee with a nice variegated edge.

I purchased mine from a big box store so that's probably why it didn't make it.

Sorry I can't tell you more.

Lime Direction Dragon (VT) --- both the first and the second (B) versions ... Dragon Heart Snapping Dragon Summer Dragon (a second purchase ... the transplants were tiny) Talon Tooth Dragon Circle (a repeat -- small transplants) and Brown-Eyed Girl just for the fun of it. And China Dragon Firedrake ...

Here's what I have ... a patio surrounded by dragons ... I just transplanted more than 90 feet of daylilies around the new patio ...

A new one for me ... very pretty

Several hosta have that folded leaf trait and I really find it attractive especially with this cross ...

Wanda is a great camera expert. I recommend Canon anything. The sureshots are great for everyday stuff. I use (at my job -- I'm a newspaper writer/reporter/photographer) a Canon G2 and am currently researching which Canon I'm going to get next ... I used to run about 600 plus rolls of film through m...

Add my 'NO' to the list ... LOTV should only grow in places where it can be corralled such as the tree lawn ... that space between the roadway and the sidewalk in the city or in an area where you can't seem to get anything else to grow ... just remember to provide a containment field

Don't forget Komodo Dragon ... and Nancy Gill ...

Spider -- The only problem is there aren't any gardens for you to tour! However, I'm sure that I can find some garden friends who will open their gardens ...
Helen

Renaldo,
How nice to have visitors! And never worry about what the gardens look like ... real gardens look past the weeds.
It's going to be a couple of years before I'll feel comfortable having people tour ... There is still so much to do.
Helen

Now that's what I call a Spring Dream!

Ladybug -- we've only been in the house a couple of months so we aren't settled enough to even have the prints and such on the walls. I will post on the Garden Bench when I have the time. The house has a lot of original woodwork with handcarved accents ... I have two four-foot wide slliding paneled ...
