Hey Clematis-killer,

I love the name. Who among us HASN't killed a clematis?

I don't think your last hosta is sick. It looks like a little frost or pressure injury damage to me, if this is the only part of the plant that has it.

Your photos turned out beautifully. thanks for sharing, and labeling your photos with cultivar names would be a definite plus.

Okay, I have to confess...I never label anything and I don't know the names of all of them. The second last one is Patriot. There are a few Gold Standards and I think the big blue ones are Blue Wedgewood. I don't know if that helps.

Fabulous! How on Earth do you grow them like that? Do you put out lots of slug bait? I've been diligent this year and have the best hosta yet, but nothing like yours. Slugs are just evil.

Is the one with the white Patriot? That's the one I have.

Erin, I sure wish you knew what the one in the third pic. down is, cause I have one like it, I'm pretty sure,
and I have no idea what it is. I've had it forever, and it just keeps on going but with no name!!

I moved half of it, to more shade hoping it would turn out to be more blue but it is still more green!

Beautiful pics., Erin--thanks for sharing!

Hi everyone,

Socks-the white one IS Patriot. It looks so nice at twilight. I don't really use slug bait. I'm hesitant to admit this because I don't want everyone freaking out about soil testing first...I thought that slugs don't like salt and plants do like epsom salt so I put a salt ring around the base of the hostas hoping for the best of both worlds. I have diligently collected egg shells for the last month to crush and put around the base of each plant because slugs won't slither over them(it cuts them). Maybe they look good because the pictures are so huge and they look bigger than they actually are!
Janice-I have no idea what that hosta is called! That one has been divided about 6 times and is still 3-4 feet across.
I'll take some pictures in my back yard tomorrow. I have a new June that I'm just in love with.
Thanks for the feedback,
Erin

Janice, I have a Topaz that looks very similiar to the third picture. It might be a match!
