Not me! Some think it does much better in a pot, but in a city garden, maybe you already have it
that way! Good luck, but I think it is one of the ones on the list of 'difficult to grow' hosta!

I'd love to see pix of your 'city' garden!!! We love pix!!

big white center.. means it needs sunshine.. so the little green on the edge can actually feed the plant ...

but in doing that.. it can get rather ratty later in the summer ....

it is on a lot of short lists for hosta that are NOT worth the space ... in re your limited circumstances ...

Mine's doing well.... blooming now.
It gets about 2 hours of good morning sun and is in the shade otherwise.

I have real good luck with Cherry Berry.It does have some slug holes but doing well otherwise.I have a mature healthy plant and it only sent up one flower stalk.Mine gets a lot of sun.Phil

I have great luck. I posted a picture on aug 6 under newbie id help. if you do a search for cherry berry you should find it. mine still looks very good.

I wish I read up on it before buying it recently....I was mesmerized by it at the nursery.

Ahhh...I think I agree with Ken & I'm "just not that into it" for the space that I have. Too bad...my mom SO WANTED me to get it!

hey j, I attached some "arty" photos of my back garden. It's always a work in progress but this is its 5th year & I'm getting pleased ( SO hard to please a perfectionist!!!)

So, to all...any suggestions for another smallish hosta--more hardy-- that might look as good as the Cherry Berry next to my 2 Palace Purple heuchera? Unfortunately, I like the whitish-yellow & green coloring of the Cherry Berry next to the Palace Purple burgundy/green. Not sure I can get that with the 1 1/2 hours of direct sun. Poo!

Mine has grown well, and the colours are pretty, but it's slug bait. So, I'm thinking it's about to get the SEPTEMBER HEAVE! Why waste space when there are so many nicer hostas?

OOhhh--nice pix, MCG!!! Thank you for sharing them and we want more--anytime! I like how you put things
together!!

You might like, 'Wolverine', though it won't have the yellow and is broader leaved but it is a favorite for many of us
and very hardy in my garden!!!

Here's mine in the center of the groupings.

Another thought, if you like the green and yellow stripey look--come closer--I'm going to whisper,
cause it's NOT a *hosta* suggestion:

How about some Variegated Liriope grass--or 'Hakonechloa macra'-ÂAureola ?

Here's the 'Hakonechloa' start in my bed this year:

Just a suggestion--I love all three I've mentioned!!!

What in the world?? How did I double post, especially with that time difference??
One such post from me is surely enough--two of the same from me is way too much!!!

Wonder how that DID happen, seriously?

Beautiful pics,love your eye for design. Since I have no design sense,, will steal some of your ideas for next year.
By the way, my motto is ...............
if one is good, two has got to be better, so keep the pictures coming.

There is a tetraploid version of Cherry Berry which is called Cherry Pie. It has much a much thicker substance and has a faster growth rate. I replaced my Cherry Berry with this. It has done really well for me.
