Oh dear, I hope you can get your snails under control. I have Clifford's Forest Fire on my list, near the top
I just bought Lakeside Cranberry Relish and can't wait for that one to get big. Also there is another hosta called 'War Party' and it is said to hold color well. I will check on Darwin's Standard sounds like a winner. Most of my hostas are slug resistant but if I do get one thats not I can just put it into a pot. Garden Party is pest resistant?
