It is so neat when you give up on something and then it surprises you. I haven't had any luck with either hostas or hydrangeas.

That's fantastic. That little hosta is so perfect! I'd grow hostas in a second if I knew they would survive. They had some really nice ones at Lowe's New Tampa last week that I passed over because I figured they would never make it.

Nice surprise! Love the color of your hydranga. The hosta looks like spiral ginger!

Thanks.Nope they are Hosta I ordered them mail away.It may be Patriot,I like white trimmed plants instead of the yellow tones like arboricola.Hope he survives the summer.Jerzeegirl in one of my old Gardeners Diaries (I Tivoes most of them) There was a lady near Tampa with a lovely garden ,lots of shade and she WAS growing them.I think they are trying to make them to survive oue heat and humidity.So far nothing is munching them either and I do not use chemicals.
