'Orange Marmalade' was a gift from friends almost 7 years ago. But mine may be a dud. It marked time too close to my Linden tree for 5 years until I moved it. But the better growth I was hoping to see in the new location didn't materialize. If I don't see better growth this season, it will be out of my garden. Please feel free to share your pictures of this hosta.

Orange Marmalade continued to be a dud for me in 2016.

Late in the season, I dug it and potted it and will try moving it around. Here is was in August. It's out of my garden if it doesn't do better in 2017.

I have Orange Marmalade and it has done very well for me until recently, the location is a north facing site and only gets morning sun. Komodo Dragon had gotten very large and was starting to shade the OM out. Moved OM to another location with more morning sun and less competition.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

I purchased at the end of season. I did not take a pic but it was a large pot several eyes. Will take a pic this summer.
