Hallson Gardens

2017 update. Or is it LLG? This sported/reverted from my 'Lakeside Reflecting Glass'. It continues to grow and in 2018 is looking even better, but I'm not so sure the colour is as dark green as it should be. July 19.

2017 update. Not much change although some parts of it try to sport to all green. Aug. 5

2017 update. This one has been spreading by rhizomes and had several eyes at some distance from each other. I dug one large eye and offered it to my local Hort. Society auction. July 27.

2017 update. July 27. This continues to do well for me.

2017 update - still thriving in full sun. July 12.

2017 update. This one seems slightly rhizomatous but the new growth is not as large. In 2018, I plan to dig the smaller sections and grow them in a pot while adding extra compost to that part of the garden. July 12.

2017 update - no real change. July 27.

2017 update. This one has been slow growing for me - much the same as in 2016. July 19.

2017 update. For some reason, this little hosta continues to suffer from frost heave and subsequent loss of vigour. But by July 12, it was doing all right.

Wish mine had been properly streaky. It had stabilized into 'Bell Ringer' before I received it. It is a nice plant (see the separate thread), and appropriate since I direct a handbell ensemble, but not the streaky one I had hoped for.

2017 update - this continues to be the crown jewel of my garden. July 12.

2017 update. This one continues to do well as a border. July 19.

2017 update - still a bunch of eyes separated from each other. July 27.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your husband but glad you are finally getting back to gardening. Unfortunately, the chat lists have been exceptionally quiet of late. I think the largest action is in the Facebook groups these days.

2017 - still much the same. Photo July2.

2017 - still doing well

2017 update. Still have four borders, but the two in the back yard still don't do as well.

Still in a pot in 2017 and it seems to like it.

2017 update - July 27

2017 update - the two divisions. Both pics August 15.
