Re: Emergence?
I'm wondering that about June. I'm rather new to this game and that's the only one of mine that isn't up yet. I have two so I would presume they did not both just die;) and, one other one just showed up yesterday (Abiqua Drinking Gourd). I would guess that in a day or two, we'll both see our late arrivals.
Re: Emergence?
June is a little later to emerge. but is praying hands got mine last year and yet nothing showing certainly hope I havnt lost it ,was quite expensive and a 50th Birthday present.
Re: Emergence?
I have lots up but none of the Halcyon family.
I haven't seen Embroidery yet but it sits in shade under pine trees.

Re: Emergence?
Yes, Embroidery is slow to come up. I was thinking the same thing last year that maybe I lost them as I had just divided them the year before (kind of late) but they eventually came up just fine The only thing I do recommend is watching to make sure they come up with a lighter, greenish/cream center. Embroidery often sports to a solid green but the only real way to know for certain is in the spring, if it isn't a middle variegated plant, and then as it gets older it is a smooth, green leaf. If you do get some solid green eyes get them out so they don't take over the clump.
Re: Emergence?
Embroidery is one of the last one to emerge in my yard every year. It makes me nervous every spring waiting for it.
Re: Emergence?
In spite of my own best advice not to dig around looking for eyes where you KNOW there should be a hosta, because those tender eyes are easily broken, I always get worried and do it anyway. There was no sign of June, anywhere, but yesterday they all have big eyes poking up there. And same with Praying Hands, I carefully dug all around where I know it is, and nothing. Now it's up. Right where I dug. So don't give up on them, just have patience.
