What kind of hostas Lee?

good question. old varieties. one is a solid green, medium large
leaves, purple flowers & very robust. it's happy to grow just about
anywhere i throw it, even without actually planting it. it gets
large fairly quickly (needs dividing around every 2-3 years). the
other is slower growing, varigated green & cream, also has purple
flowers. this one doesn't like wet feet apparently, as the ones i
moved to the bog died.
don't suppose i can interest you in ditch lilies too?

I can give you a couple of "blue leafed rose" seedlings too

that'd be cool. what growing conditions do they prefer? i have
some rugosa seeds i'm trying to start (from Niagra Falls).
i'm ambitiously attempting to relandscape the front yard & side
entry areas (only an acre & a half). it's going to involve a lot of
rock moving, since i'm going to make the pathways from flat rocks
(granite) & fill around them with creeping thyme & those tiny pinks
(cheddar pinks, i think?)
if i manage that, i want to pave the areas where the grill & the
clotheslines are in the same way... but i think i'd get cobbles for
the grill & clothesline areas. i expect they'd look better a tad
more formal.
