Hosta of the Day - 'Counter Point'

Post by redcrx »

'Counter Point' is listed as a hybrid of 'Francee'.

I have had this mildly streaky plant for 2 seasons. It gets a lot of mid-day sun.
Here are some photos from 2011:

I almost lost this plant. A couple of tiny pieces went in to pots so I still have it around. I think it was another case where I had planted it to close to a holly - before I knew better.
