CLASSIC EDGE was been a really good one for me. One of the daylilies I bought first thing last spring from Marietta Gardens. That was before I found Maryotts and spent all my money there the rest of the summer. Its one of the group of daylilies in front (or in back depending on which way your looking) along with STRAWBERRY CANDY AND RUSSIAN EASTER, of that row of lilly bulbs. It's really been the blooming fool this year.

WW, with all due respect to the rest of the lovely gang, Stetson's always been my favorite. And why does Monty always look like his well-plotted world domination went awry? Such an angry young feline. ;-) Sol

Thank you Stush! And thank you for the ID. I will give him a label now. Over the years, I have gathered a lot of tips from you and Russ. You've really helped me to be a better sans parent.

It just occurred to me that I failed to say that the dimensions of its current pot are 10" WIDE and 4" DEEP. But when I see pictures of other snake plants I never see them in anything remotely similar ..... Shallow pots require that the grower is very careful when choosing the grow medium being used. The pots below are all filled to the top with the same medium and the shaded area represents excess (perched) water held between soil particles and resisting gravity. Most media based on very large fractions of fine ingredients (peat, coir, compost, composted forest products, sand, topsoil, ...... support several inches of perched water. The norm is 3 to 6 ". As you can see, when using a pot 4 " deep and a grow medium that supports 3" of perched water, only 25% of the soil will be hospitable to roots. Should the medium support 4" of perched water, 100% of the shallow pot would be saturated and wholly inappropriate for the roots of almost any plant. It's not that you can't grow sans in pots as shallow as yours, it's just that they require a medium that holds very little or no perched water in order that they might realize as much as their genetic potential as possible. Too much water in the root zone limits root's ability to function normally, and can set the stage for fungal infections of roots. There are some tricks you can use which will limit how much excess water a planting can hold. Ask if you have interest. ..... just tried to update my profile with my Zone, which is 7b in western WA, but Houzz won't let me .....
