My 2007 buying has started

Post by SUEDIA »

Here are a couple of my new purchases for this year. If you can tell me anything about them and if they are picky about where they need to be planted. I would appreciate any information about them.
Thanks,
Sue

I don't know anything about any of them, but they look good! I especially like the looks of that last one! :D

I can't give you any info either,but I also love the dark leaves on that last one. I'll be getting Peanut this year, so I'll keep an eye out on this post and see what advice you get about that one. I did get Yin last year, but it's too early to tell how it's going to do. :)

I can't tell you much either except that I've heard of all 4, but have none.

I do remember that Peanut was the one with controversy swirling around it last summer because it was suspected to be the same hosta as one of Mary Chastain's Lakesides. I believe X-rated is a sport of X-ray with a narrower margin. Yin is still available for sale, but it's sibling Yang is not anymore. :???: And I think Lakeside Iron Man gets huge. So if you plant your 2 minis next to it - you may not see them again. :wink:
