I'm addicted now

6 years ago

I planted some hostas in a shady garden area along with some other shade plants...and 2 years later the hostas are beautiful and the other plants haven't returned. I'm going to fill in the entire area with hostas now!!

    Well, you've come to the right place to feed your addiction........ those hosta look like "Summer Breeze" to me. Welcome.

    Thanks all...I already have a rose and iris addiction...daylilies too I guess...now I can collect hostas too...I want a mass planting all around a shady patio area I have. I already have the 2 pictured as well as a few blue mouse ears. Now I have ordered...

    Abiqua Drinking Gourd

    Blueberry Muffin

    Cathedral Windows

    Dream Weaver

    Francee

    Mini Skirt

    Wolverine

    And Rainforest Sunrise


    I plan to get those planted then just keep filling in with hostas from there and surround the patio.

    All winners. You should be very happy with your new hostas.

    Madplanter1 Thanks I'm relieved...I first thought I would try to carefully choose varieties and plan it all out in detail, but then decided to just start with an order full of varieties that just looked good to me and start going LOL. Once I chose them I decided where they will go and I think it will look lovely.

    I approve this message. :-)

    That is a correct way to get hosta. Dream weaver is sloooow.

    You chose the perfect group for hosta addictions. We have all had /have our problems and it starts around the patio and them the lawns all start to disappear piece by piece. Mine were mass planted and now there is not a square inch with ground showing. Doesn't take long either Have fun , it is a thrill

    And don't forget all the other plant addictions that will branch off hostas - I've now become infatuated with Japanese maples!

    You chose lots of great plants. Love them i’ve got all of them but France. Enjoy! I also love JM. But I have a small yard so there is only so much I can plant so much.

    Almosthooked....oh my goodness that is a gorgeous border...I love that look with all those hostas packed in there. In my rose group someone once referred to their garden as "cram it in acres"...and I love the sound of that LOL!

  • 6 years ago

    Oh and I guess it's safe to admit here that I accidentally ordered some more :) I added,

    Tiny Bubbles

    Sandhill Crane

    Rainbow's End

    Hands Up

    Dancing Queen

    Golden Meadows

    Marrakech

    And Parisian Silk


    And I also have started eyeing some of my pots for the possibility of growing some hostas in pots too.

    My whole yard looks like that. Got the bug, found great sales and they all grew big. Wait until the fall sales go on a 2 for 1 price. They nearly drove me nuts deciding and I hid my bill from my husband although he never really asked. That is a true addict to hide your addiction I am told ha ha. It is so much fun too

    Ha! That's too funny! Luckily my husband has been getting behind all of my plant addictions so I haven't had to hide the bills... yet :)

    That first list is a nice start. There's some real beauties in that second list and somewhat less common. I had to look one of them up.
