I could use many....some I have had my eye on is..but not limited to these first frost autumn frost june fever liberty and maybe a gold hosta of some kind... really don't like the mini hostas here is a pic of a couple halcyon's I have..petty decent sized plants..

Honeymoon Acres is a fun place to visit...a bit different than many garden centers. 1) They do not guarantee their trees/shrubs even for a year. 2) Their annuals/accents/veggies are copious in selection, usually super healthy and full, and very reasonably priced. Some people don't go anywhere else for those items, once they've tried them here. 3) They have a fair amount of hostas at an average price, they usually look pretty nice. However, I would not call it a hosta destination. 4)They start marking their stuff down in late June/early July...they drop more % each week until it's all gone.

Jon - No crispy edges on either T-Rex or Blue Mammoth. At least not that I remember, AS the years have gone by and much to my amazement the near by trees keep sending out more and more leaves. A this time there are moments in the afternoon where there is nearly no sun. Frankielynniise - I had to confront the Management Company here finally because the first and very promising spike on Empress Wu suddenly VANISHED and what was left was a slight indentation as to where it had been. What I equated to someone slicing the spike BELOW the surface with a pocket knife. Ihad told them previous that I felt that the plant was suffering (at that time) presumably from a critter under the garden. The crttter became unconfirmed as the burrow that I thought I had seen last fall during the planting of Fire and Ice had 100% disappeared. Nature made a horrid fool out of me in front of BOTH the management company AND the exterminator. Previous to this post I was so agitated that I was nearly in a state of depression. Beverlymnz4 - I’ve taken note of your comments. Hard to respond at this point Babka NorCal 9b - I had not been aware that Crown Rot could still leave a vestiges of a survivable plant. I had been told previously that crown rot would take any living part of the plant after it took hold of the plant. Thank you for correcting my knowledge about Crown Rot. I do understand that different hosta come up at different times of the spring; I generally give my plants until June to spike; and that the ‘bumps are dormant buds. AT that time I replanted the buds to give them a chance to grow (they never did). As for plants sinking … .The ground seems to be pretty solid; so I would doubt that they would sink, although I suppose it is possible (thinks hard). I’ve planted hosta for years and now often check the crown line of the plant before putting it into the soil to insure that the line is slightly below the surface of the surrounding soil + not more than an inch. This season has been an horrid season form my smaller hosta [Church Mouse, Holy Mouse Ears, Frosted Mouse Ears, and Little Sunspot in particular] have all surfaced to raise the crown line to not more than 1/2 inch ABOVE the soil. At first I was concerned, but since then they have all spiked, leafed, and currently looking O.K. Never seen this in hosta before. Peter Kelley - St Paul, MN USA
