Rose, those are some amazing shade gardens. Thanks for posting those, I really enjoyed that.

Virginiarose,

That one is 'Blaze of Glory'. I split it this year and now have three of them!

Julia,

Thank you! It's supposed to be cooler for several days, so maybe I'll get some weeding done.

I love 'Blaze of Glory'! Does it have any problems with slugs, etc.?


@Cinta, Thanks! I think it looks really nice with GE and I would have never thought of that. I am getting ready to replace my 'Paul's Glory' with a GE so I will see about planting 'Caramel' near by! (Paul's Glory does not like this southern climate.)

Virginiarose,

I don't have a lot of problems with slugs, so I'm not sure.

I've have been watching this forum for a while now and am ready to try my hand at posting some of my hosta I wish I remembered all their names. They are Hosta 'Kiwi Forest', H. 'Curley Fries', H. 'Striptease', H. Pineapple Upsideown Cake'.

Nice plants. Thanks for posting them. I hope you show us some more.

Very nice!

Susan, I have no slug problem with Blaze of Glory, which I also sell.

Love the pictures. Last one is my favorite.

Treehugger,

Nice hostas! Post pics of the ones that you don't have names for...we don't mind at all!

That is great news! Put one aside for me.

I took a picture of my new woodland garden. This is the new home for many of my Hosta. I wish I had kept a list of all the plants I bought because now some of the names are lost and all I have is pretty foliage but I love them all anyway. Hosta 'Revolution' fighting it out for space with Epimedium. Hosta 'Halcyon' this one has almost blue foliage.

I am embarrassed to post pics. They grew so large last year with all the rain and by the end of the season I did not get a chance to divide and thin the herd. They were covering each other last year this year It is a jumbled mess.

I do not do names. I know most of them but some I do not remember after the move.

Great Expectation


.

I use Hosta Lancifolia in my sun garden as a ground cover for bulbs, and around roses

I love the way you have planted such a great mix. The combinations are nice.

I love seeing everyone's hostas. What a wonderful mix of colors and forms.

Thanks Jewell! Nice woodland garden @treehugger

I have a few that are blooming!

What a great idea using smaller hosta as ground cover. I just love that idea Jewell. ♥

There are a number of small hostas that divide easily and grow fast and make great ground covers. 'Limey Lisa', 'Lemon Frost', 'Tick Tock', and 'Lakeside Zinger' are just a few. There are pics of many of them in the pictures I recently shared from Ottawa.

How about 'Twist of Lime'? I do not have any of the others, but mine does pretty good considering how many times I accidentally stepped on it. LOL.

'Twist of Lime' is same family as 'Lemon Frost'. I have them growing side by side and it's hard to tell where one ends and the other starts.

'Cracker Crumbs' would probably work well.

I've never tried dividing it, but I bet 'Dragon Tails' would work well.

My 'Green Eyes' isn't even close to large enough yet, but I bet it would work well.

I have 'Kifukurin Ko Mame' as a border in 4 places. In the dryer spots it's not as large as here.

'Kinbotan' is well on its way to becoming a ground cover here.

This is the 'Lemon Frost' and at the far left of the border, you can see a bit of 'Twist of Lime'

'Lakeside Zinger'
http://garden.org/pics/2014-06...

Probably 'Stiletto' would work.

'Tick Tock' might be a bit higher than ideal, but it forms an extremely dense mound.
http://garden.org/pics/2014-06...

'Tiny Tears' would work well

I don't have a pic, on this computer, of 'Limey Lisa'. Can add it later. I've tried 'Lakeside Elfin Fire' but it prefers to be grown in a mound. I also have 'X-rated', but I don't think it would work well as a border. I planted mine in three groups when I divided it 3 years ago and it still hasn't really filled out as much as I'd like.
