December 2021 in my (dormant) hosta garden
The hostas are dormant now. The camellias are exuberant, and the hellebores are waking up in my year-round garden. There is much to look forward to this month. Happy holidays to all of you!

I have only ordered 2 hostas for the spring: Giantland Blue Banana (in honor of Jeff Miller) and Spinach Souffle (because I found it at last).

June 2021 in my hosta garden
Comments (46)Utog, I have so admired yours and others Parisian Silk so much so that I ordered one. Unfortunately the vendor said it did not come through the winter well so they cannot ship it. I told them to pick a hosta for me letting them know I have space for sun tolerant as well……..sigh……..will have to wait another year. I could find it elsewhere maybe, but still waiting on two orders……one includes Tattoo……. :-) debra...See MoreWhat are your top 3 hostas in your garden in June 2021

Comments (61)Debra, you’re right that Munchkin Fire and Mango Salsa have similar flowers. I am sorry that your Waverunner has had a rough start. I decided to order it last weekend after reviewing Steve’s photos and praise of it. Also, WR is a sport of Squash Casserole, one of Tony Avent’s creations and reported to grow well in the South. Wish me luck!...See MoreAugust 2021 in my hosta garden

3 years agoIt's a little early for the camelia to start flowering for me but the Hellebores are busy showing their faces...
And a persistant snapdragon is still putting on a good show...
