I must admit to a fascination by its flowers, they're so colourful for a fragrant flowered variety, just love it!

That's it for mine, how's about yours?

Only a couple of 'N' hostas here, 'Nancy' and 'Neptune'.

'Nancy', Aug 8, Aug. 29
I've had 'Nancy' since 2013 and enjoyed watching it mature. It's yellow colour goes very well with 'June' which is adjacent.

'Neptune', July 25 & Aug. 8
'Neptune' was new late in 2020 and has grown very slowly for me. I'm not sure why as I've dug it, checking for greedy tree roots. Hoping to see growth on it soon, or I may be moving it.

'Navajo' a nice quiet hosta.


'Niagara Falls' this one got hit by the voles, so starting over from just a small group of roots.

'Neptune' small, slow grower

'Nigrescens' this one never does much for me, maybe to many tree roots

RJ, glad to hear my 'Neptune' is not the only one that's a slow grower. I've got a hunch that 'Waterslide', acquired only last year, will be a better grower even if 'Neptune' is supposed to get large.

Ann, Waterslide is a good grower; gets fairly large,
