Hosta companions or how do you design your hosta beds
Comments (10)Nicholsworth, I have admired your garden greatly, I like peaceful feeling your garden gives me. Admittedly I am a crammer and need to remain myself to keep space open. How do Astilbes bloom for you? My experience that they do enjoy decent sunlight to be showy... Debra, love painted ferns, both burgundy and silver, I think they just add classy elegance to any setting. My sunnier spots are all delegated to veggie and berry gardens so I will have to stick with shade loving and heavy soil tolerant plants. Not sure epimedium will be happy in heavy water loaded soils... I did buy Sun King too, it does well in more sun though... I have seen spectacular lupines in WI, was never lucky to grow them in IL. Peren, thank you for finding companion thread, lots of ideas. I am looking for couple of tallish but narrow ferns and not superspreaders. Then probably want to add cute but short ones. Sebright has lots of choices if anyone has experience in growing ferns in heavy soil I am all ears. Are Royal fern and Maidenhair finicky? I have been eyeing ligularia Chinese dragon but shipping from Plant Delights is a killer......See MoreYour 2022 Rose Companion Plant Champs
Comments (22)I have no favorites since I literally began my rose garden four days ago, and as of now not a single rose has been planted.

I'd also like to have reblooming irises as I did in my previous rose garden. Limonium perezii (sea lavender) was also a favorite near the roses....See MoreHosta Flowers 2022 ...........
Comments (23)One certainly can’t blame you for cutting flowers that interfere with the presentation of a fav hosta….. I generally cut the petioles once all the flowers are spent….. I will leave any petioles with flowers for the bees. I don’t have tons of flowers for bees so if they want the hosta ones, they can have them! Lol 🐝 Hosta_maker, I have never noticed the cellophane layer on flowers, but I certainly start this year. How interesting! Love all the flowers you posted….all those reds and purples! Yay! Old_dirt, Sweet Home Chicago is a prolific bloomer….really nice! Foxfire Palm Sunday has a really interesting bud head…..roundish, reminds me of Queen Josephine which I don’t a picture of. Did you post your NOIDS in that category? They have very pretty flowers! debra...See MoreHosta Yellow 2022 ............................
Comments (27)Pieter that one i sent to mark zillis lab 3 years ago, so solberg is selling it now its 'light the match' high priced the first year. i don't get any royalties on those. it has the substance of subcrocea so it will bleach. it works best in a pot which would be good for you. the os in the ground hasn't liked the 2 years of drought we've had so it has shrunk to half size. i relocated it. so i'm hoping it bounces back this year....See Moreperen.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada
