Yellow Polka Dot Bikini...this was a bareroot last year and ended up with a hyper-foliated scape. Rather an odd growth habit this season with the remnants of the scape in the middle.

bluegrassmom said:Does anyone have hosta beneath maple trees? I think the feeder roots rob the soil of moisture and nutrients. I weeded between some of mine near a apple tree. They seem to do better there.


I'm literally having my maples cut down because they're such a massive nuisance (also not in good shape) but they've killed my moon split and a few others are struggling this year due to the sucker roots. Sad

Not sure where that second post came from Shrug! Shrug! Shrug! Shrug!

That wouldn't surprise me if it was mislabeled. That seems to happen a lot with heuchera. Anyway, whatever it is I have 2 of them!

Could just be growing conditions. I have had 2 of the same plants in different areas and they looked very different. I saw another pic in data base that looked more like yours. Mine was in a sunny area.

Rose1656 said:I meant to ask, does anybody remember where CitySylvia was from? She lived in Texas and grew Hostas. I think she was even featured in a magazine.


As I recall she was in Houston. But she grew all her hostas in pots. And as we continued conversations with her, I began to doubt her to some extent.

Checking in for the first time this season. We also had a long, extended and somewhat cool spring with one late frost that nipped some of my plants - those that grow in the microclimate just south of the fence at the north edge of my yard. Hardest hit was 'Blue Ivory', but it's put out some good growth since then.

I have a few that have just unfurled. 'Choko Nishiki' (formerly known as 'On Stage') has long been one of the last but once it emerged it has grown well. 'Fujibotan' is the slowest in the garden to unfurl and is still in the process though my newest set of pictures, not yet completely edited, is now 3 days old.

The new ones this year were 'Dancing Queen' and 'First Blush'. Early pictures attached. FB was a one-eyed division but already has more leaves than in this pic May 28. I've put it in a good-sized pot and sunk it into the garden.

Others doing well in late May:

Galaxy had two eyes that sported last year; so not too many eyes this year, but the leaves are HUGE even though two received some early season damage.

'Golden Nolan' - a decade-old seedling from 'September Sun' that I've named after my grandson.
Thumb of 2020-06-09/ViolaAnn/808b87

'Green Eyes' is kept in a pot year-round. In a trough for the summer and in my veggie garden for winter.
Thumb of 2020-06-09/ViolaAnn/6268aa

'Guardian Angel' was a bit slower to emerge than some but is looking good.
Thumb of 2020-06-09/ViolaAnn/2dffde

'High Society' spent last year in a pot. I divided my plant two years ago and when I replanted half, the squirrels had other ideas and dug it up twice. It wasn't looking great at the beginning of the 2019 season; so I potted it for TLC and replanted later in the summer. It looks to have recovered.
Thumb of 2020-06-09/ViolaAnn/6e7611

'Ice Age Trail' is back in the ground after spending at least two years in a huge pot after I divided out all the solid blue (Big Daddy) from it. It's looking OK and all of it is streaked but the amount of streaking varies a lot form one eye to the next.
Thumb of 2020-06-09/ViolaAnn/b07df2

'Jewel of the Nile' with the leaves not yet fully unfurled.
Thumb of 2020-06-09/ViolaAnn/10c736

I'll add more later. Half of the May 28th pictures still need to be cropped and all of the June 6 pictures need to be named, resized and cropped. Am chair of the board of a local food bank which is having its AGM tomorrow. After that, I'm actually leaving the board and will have a bit more time.

I agree Was wondering if everything was ok since I have not seen you on the site this season. Galaxy is a great looking plant.
