Comments (91)I'll bring some drama to P's... Prince of Darkness. Very thick pointed leaves, dark green edge, apple-green centre. Handsome bad guy... Prairie Moon. It's not gold or yellow. The leaves are powedered with white, so the colour glows somehow. The name perfectly describes the hosta. I'll keep it with Blue Tooth and L. Dragonfly....See MoreHosta T 2015
Comments (55)I'm sure Touch of Class won't disappoint you, josephines161 ! It's always neat, tasteful and classy. A little English lord in the garden, well-dressed and well behaved. I grow it next to Halcyon and May. The King is a star. I also got The Queen last August, but it looks like Thumbelina next to her royal husband. *sigh*...See MoreHosta X 2015
Comments (80)Donna, I just read your sad news. I'm so sorry about your precious Kate. That's very sad. To all you kitty lovers, I do have a word of caution. I hesitated to write about this but feel it might help someone in the future. Last spring I received a purchased Hosta that had been cut from the mother plant instead of being grown as its own individual plant. This was a first for me. The folks who sent it had dipped or sprinkled some sort of yellow-colored substance on the cut portion ~ likely an anti-fungal or something. Anyway, when Hostas arrive I always let them soak for a day or two in a container on the counter. At the time I had 2 Maine Coons and a rescue kitty. Despite always having fresh water available, two of my kitties sneaked up on the counter and drank the water the Hosta was soaking in. Both were sick immediately and the rescue kitty never did it again. But the one Maine Coon, Pearl, continued to do it whenever my back was turned. I finally figured it out after a few days (it had been raining for days so the plant stayed on my counter longer than usual) and took the plant outside. Pearl seemed to recover initially, but two weeks later she really began to have problems. I won't go into the details but it was awful. After weeks of testing and months of trying to treat her we had to have her put to sleep. Pancreatic failure. She was only 6 years old. Cats will be cats. You have house rules like staying off table tops and counters, cats live by their own rules, at least when your back is turned. Watch out for treated Hostas....See MoreJon 6a SE MA
