A new addition to the garden.

6 years ago

I added hosta Forbidden Fruit to my garden this week. Anybody else growing this one? I would like to see some photos of it, please. I also added to my June addiction, this makes nine! Gotta find a place for these four.

Forbidden Fruit 'was' a favorite of mine. The rabbits ate it almost to the ground in 2018. Last year it was pretty poor, I hope it comes back decent this year. June is always great, I have several.

This one has grown well for me. I moved it into more shade as I like it more yellow with streaks while in more sun it goes to parchment. Last year in mid June:

Last year early August:
