I was going to use all of my existing new hosta in pots to fill the narrow space down the side of the garage. Being that I have hosta on the brain, a very serious condition, I changed my mind and decided to use the 60 or so varieties to fill in other areas. This will give me an excuse to buy all new ones for the other area. Let me know if you think I am way far off in sizing. I am hoping to not have to worry about moving anything for at least 5 to 7 years. Down the road I will probably limb up the Junipers and turn them into mushrooms to give me more growing room down below. In previous years I always had pots of annual flowers sitting in these areas and sometimes planted them in the ground. One section is stuffed full of a dozen or more varieties of tulips, one section is all daffodils and another daffodils and alliums. I am over the bulbs and their foliage.

This area is 5' deep and runs the length of the driveway. I had already planted some hosta over the past couple of years. The evergreens are Juniper Strictus. They are supposed to stay short and skinny. I have telephone, cable and power lines that are directly above the trees. There is a Tiger Eyes Sumac at the foot of the drive.

At the street, I already had Sun Power, Luna Moth and Lancifolia. I put the Lancifolia there since that edge sometimes gets driven over, not by me. To the left of Sun Power are two tissue cultures. Sunshine Glory towards the fence and Blaze of Glory. I am adding Appletini in front of the Juniper and going across the front Limey Lisa, Little Aurora and Amber Tiara. I kind of have a yellow thing going on here.

I have Liberty in the center. Rockets Red Glare and Elegans towards the fence. Appletini in front of the next Juniper with Canadian Blue, Bubbatini, Surfer Girl, Azuretini and Twilight Time across the front. I don't want any of the hosta around Liberty to take away from it with fancy foliage. I might swap out Rockets Red Glare for a different blue. I am thinking that RRG needs a more prominent spot.

Millennium is in the center with St. Elmo's Fire and Waving Winds to the back. Lemontini in front of next tree with Temptation, Designer Genes and Hudson Bay across the front.

Solar Flare in the center with Waving Wuffles and Chinese Sunrise across the back. Limetini in front of next Juniper with Peace, High Society and Abby across the front.

Down here it gets messy since the Alliums are in bloom. There is a young Blue Angel in the center. This spot gets the most full sun from about noon on. I want to see how fast Blue Angel can grow with lots of sun. I don't care if it loses the wax on the leaves. Across the front I am adding Jewel of the Nile. I think this was labeled incorrectly. I'll start an ID thread for it. Then there is Broad Band and Whee!

I am putting all of the remaining hosta that are in pots here and there throughout the yard. I still have Silk Kimono and Savannah Supreme to put in special places. I just have to figure out where those special places are and what I have to move to fit them in. Undulata Unvittata will no doubt be getting moved into a pot since it is taking up prime real estate.

Be careful if you get near me, I have a serious case of the Hosta Crazies. It is highly contagious and it causes you to spend lots of money on pretty leaves.
