Linda, as neglected as you say those hostas are, they look terrific! I hope your neighbors appreciate them. Your EW is reaching her full growth. The grouping in your final photo looks great!

The soil is just on the top, compost is under. It is a rain barrel cut in half after breaking. So drainage is good.

Look at last pic, those round corrugated leaves is what I bought as WU. Heck knows what happened. I do not remember it much in the pot, was busy, then I got tired of waiting it to grow big so I dumped it behind the fence. Maybe it was bad batch?

Oh, that cabbage leaf that looks like Lakeside Prophecy? I saw it but discarded the notion that it was EW.

Isn’t EW the huge leafed hosta in the first three pictures? What am I missing?

That is her Empress Wu x Abiqua Drinking Gourd made by Bob Fox. Perhaps you should come up with a name for it - Drunk Wu? Mai Tai? Empire?

Am thinking now. Does this cabbage leaved hosta looks like Manhattan?

I got it from reputable nursery which only does resale, they sure had Manhattan too.
