My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

IMPOSTERS !

9 years ago

Some will remember the 17 imposter Sagaes I bought (real cheap).

Well they are all coming along. Fairly big, corrugated with light edging.

8-9 in this row and more rows above.

Another Imposter was the three 'First Frost' I bought from a 'reputable' greenhouse.


Not First Frost, but nice. At the Ravine.

Here are my three real First Frost.


....and my real Sagae in Hosta la Vista


....and my six (3 good size, 3 small) alternating with Hakonechloa, All Gold grasses out front.


Happy Mother's Day tomorrow for all the moms out there! Jon

    I adore the look of hostas with the Hakonechloa. Great combo. I am mixing more and more of these together. They're pretty pricey up here (Southern Ontario) - even small ones in 6" pots can go for $20....
