Hostas
"Hussein M." wrote in message ... Hostas usually like a bit of shade from the sun and certainly like being kept damp. This may be to some extent species dependent. I suspect that sunshine may be needed to accentuate the variegation (patches of different colour in the leaf) of the voluptuous American cultivars (which depend to a great extent on such variegation for their interest), but my comments I think are true with regards Hostas in general. If you moved the plant to a more shady area, next year maybe you will be prompted to remark they did "stupendously well" last year. Alternatively, as they are a plant which can be divided, when it reaches the size when you can divide it, you could plant a division in a shady area and compare. What do others think? Hussein Hussein, Mine are all in large pots along the front of the house, which is south-facing and get the sun all day. They do extremely well. I prefer them in pots. They look wonderful and set the pots off beautifully. Regards Iris McCanna |
