Hosta of the day -'The Razor's Edge' - post your pics

[ViolaAnn]

The hosta for Friday is new to me this year - 'The Razor's Edge'. I still have it in a pot and the way my garden has been attacked by foliar nematodes this year, I may just keep it there but plant it in my veggie garden for the winter.

I have had it a couple years. Grows very well for me.
I didnt notice it until the pic was uploaded but Razor's Edge is also in the background to the left in this pic. I have it in a few areas of my garden. Have also had enough to share already. A very good grower.

This one stands out in my garden.

Greetings from Vancouver!

Nice pic of TRE. I took new pics of mine just a day or so ago and it's budding as yours is. I thought the buds on this plant very interesting and artistic.

I was getting flower pictures of this one yesterday.

Picture from August 9 of my buds. They are about to open now and are still artistic.

'The Razor's Edge', grown in full sun with only a little bleaching on the tips late in the summer:

VERY long scapes on this late bloomer. This pic from Aug. 31 of a long, hot summer.

2014 - mine is still in that narrow garden, but it fills the space now and the flower scapes more than fill the space. Picture July 27, 2014

2015 - Aug. 02. This is now overfilling the narrow space. Has grown well.

June 2nd and happy to be in a little less sun this year. I moved it over a couple spots, putting Lakeside Black Satin and Maui Buttercups in more sun instead. No bleached tips this year.

Good to know about the sun. Mine is, I think, OK, but since the ash tree was removed it certainly gets more sun than last year. But it's directly between two houses which I think provide enough shade.
