Lisa, Darling, I don't know what to tell you except don't feel so bad. For some reason Francee, who is suppose to be a die hard, will not grow for me. Doesn't matter where I plant her or how many of her I plant, she refuses to grow for me, I have been trying for years, go figure. I guess die hard only applies to 99 percent of the population and I have never fit into the norm,lol.

But to answer your question, hang on to the pot, you never know, I've had totally barren pots I've thrown to a side corner until I have time to dispose of them suddenly sprout hostas in them, actually got a nice plant of Vanilla Cream I put down as a goner this way. My biggest surprise this year was Cherry Berry showing up in it's old spot 3 years after it totally disapeared, sure didn't expect that and don't even ask me how that happened, hosta's are funny that way.

And while I have you darling, your erromenas (sp, don't want to look up the correct spelling at this time) are just glorious. I see them first thing every morning as come home from work at 7am because I walk right by them to get into the house. They are very much a welcome home type plant.

Oh, you spelled erromena correctly! But go kick them for me... 'twas the mother of those erromenas as what kilt the 'On Stage' you sent me. Just overgrew it completely.

(Remember, I couldn't remember where I'd planted 'OS'? Well, the tag eventually surfaced, and the answer was, waaaay too close to the erromenas.)

My 'Francee' pot is banished to the back until next spring. If no action, I may weaken and buy one, though in theory, I have all the hostas I have room for... heh heh heheh.
