Hello everyone I go as kenboy and I live in NE Texas. We have grown Hostas for several years but they have only started doing well for the last few years. We have deep red clay and I compost like a mad man. Our soil is now very rich and everything is doing well. I am not hung up on names but it is a way to get colors that you want. I have traded Brugs for Hostas a couple of times and am starting to get a goodly amount. I do not have Hosta beds, I like putting them under our Japanese Maples, Dogwoods, Magnolias and Brugs, they complete the yard. I will be trying to add to my collection this year because we have added to our yard, it is a little over an acre. By for now but I will be back.
