    You are going to be very busy planting! I wish I had room for more.

    Whoa! That is quite a haul Kari! You better get busy planting! Hahaha, I won’t plant til next spring now. I have Blazing Saddles ....... my one year old plant probably needs a new location because it grew so well. When it flowers, the petioles are so thick and tall. Tall as Krossa Regal, but thicker. You must have a huge property to add all of these.....lol

    I don't have a large property at all! What have I done? lol Some of these are minis or small.

    Great choices! I've had to cut back on my purchases (until I get a handle on the ones I currently have), so I envy you!

  • 7 years ago

    Love your choices! I have ordered from them all and have had great results, fast growing plants.

    Journey end and one last dance are really good growers for me.

    Probably 30 % of my hosta in pots. Small property as well .

    If it’s any help now, I mark my plant markers with black sharpies and they do survive the season. One side usually wears more than the other so I have to redo from time to time. It’s a pain, but it’s economical.

    Wowser! You are going to be busy! I didn't recognize any except Dinky Donna because I think I saw it on one of the other online mail order companies. I am sitting on my hands because I want to order new hostas NOW but I have too many other projects that need finished before winter and I have all my old hostas to divide and move in the spring as well as daylilies. I don't know what happened but a pot of an unidentified hosta (looks sort of like Halycon) followed me home from the markdown rack at Walmart last week?!?!?!

    I have Lakeside Hazy Morn it is a good grower—love the color a different blue green. I also have Dinky Donna and Seducer. Dinky grew well after 2 years I got another this year. I just got 4 Seducer on sale. Just got them in the ground. Just planted 15 and have another 10 to go.

    oursteelers, I was happy with the plants. Let us know what you think when yours arrive.


    Thanks for the suggestions on labeling the plants everyone.

  • 7 years ago

    Well, you are enablers. I just placed my last order for the season. Few minies.

  • 7 years ago

    What did you get?

  • 7 years ago

    LS Midnight miss x2, Masquerade, MIdnight at the oasis, Ops, Cassandra, Cracker Crumbs and Imp. I generally have very little losses when planted this late. Hopefully it will prove to be true.

    I am hoping I can visit them during next year convention meeting.
