Favorite and least favorite color/type of hosta
Comments (27)I got to "thinking" further and realize I have sort of done that very thing, just not stacking the barrels on top of the other. I have a two tiered corner bed, where I have some barrels and hosta at differing levels, and so on and it works for me! Here's that corner, the subject of many pics. I have taken! In this one, you don't see my current situation where I put a barrel in place of the smaller and whiter pot to the right and another one down and behind the Lady Isobel Barnett on the same right! I did this at the end of the season with some of the many barrels I purchased on clearance! And another example of "tiering": I love the effect of higher and lower hosta placements! I think it gives the best views of some of those vase-shapes, especially, to be up high so you can truly appreciate their uprightness! I think it also gives a depth and dimension to the garden not easily achieved by one-level plantings! I'm done now--for awhile--back to the rest of you!! :o) Janice PS Note the "Sugar and Cream" (white margined, but lighter green--shhhhh--don't tell! I'm not suppose to like the white margins!)...See MoreFavorite small blue hosta

Comments (32)Several suggestions mention Hosta 'Blue Angel'. Yes, it's fantastic and a big one and fast grower, waaaay faster than Hosta 'Halcyon'. This pictured one, in later years, has all but smothered the Hosta 'Thunder Bolt' seen by it here: hh...See MoreHosta ID Popo? Or not?
Comments (15)I took the pic to a nursery (most hosta varieties I have come across yet) and spoke to the owner. She said it is not Popo, but gave me a list based on when it scapes & flower color etc. It has bloomed lavender flowers, which eliminates Blue Blush or Blue Beard. So we are iding her as Baby Bunting. Only about 6" tall without the scapes. Jo...See Moremosswitch
