Hallson Gardens

Last year I bought Snow Angel and it was beautiful........last year. This year it was slow to send up new leaves and when it finally did they were very tiny. I had to do something to try and save it, so I dug it up and planted it in a more protected area and it's finally growing more new leaves, but...

I had 2 hummingbirds chasing each other around mine yesterday. I wish I had the camera, but it was raining. I currently have mine growing in a pot. Couldn't decide if I really wanted it or not, but now after seeing the flowers and knowing the hummers like it, I have to find a place in the garden for...

I just got Bright Lights this year.

Hope it grows up to look as good as the others on here.

Just thought I'd throw in a picture of my Popo for comparision.



Mine is a bit bigger than palm size...maybe 2 hand fulls

Mini's are such fun!

I guess I should remove the 'Francee' name tag then huh? lol
I didn't know Wide Brim got that dark. None of the pics I've ever seen have shown it that dark.

I like how it's looking so far, so I guess I just wait and see.

Thanks for all the help.

I don't know when either one of them bloomed. The first one already had the scape cut down when I dug it up. You can kind of see it sticking up in the middle. The second one did not bloom for me last year. If I can remember right it was purchased late in the season, like in September. I guess I'll j...

Last year I got this from a friend that was moving. She never keeps track of her plants and didn't know what it was. I thought it was Francee. It was a slug eatten one eyed plant. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/shap_shot/Hostas/DSCF1307.jpg Here it is this year coming up with 6 eyes. http://...

After reading about the demise of my Blue Cadet with HVX several members of this forum offered me pieces of theirs. Being somewhat of a newbie at this forum, I was hesitant to accept offers, but one person convinced me to take some of hers. Today a large priority box arrived and not only was there a...

Call it beginners luck, but last winter I had several hostas in their pots overwintered in our unheated shed. They were a variety of sizes from medium like 'Sweet Home Chicago', Great Expectations', 'Clifford's Comet' to minis like 'Cat's Eyes', 'Masquerade' and 'Pandora's Box'. After they were dorm...

Thanks everyone for the advice and most of all for the offers to share your BCs. :D I wasn't expecting that at all and since I am somewhat of a newbie here, feel a bit shy about accepting plants when I have nothing to offer in return. I really appreciate all your kind offers and most of all the help...

I purchased this last year, at a retail store. It was a tiny one eyed plant that didn't grow one new leaf all last season. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/shap_shot/Hostas/DSCF1138.jpg I potted it up about mid season and was happy to see it come up this year with 6 eyes. It was up when we had...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/shap_shot/Hostas/DSCF1545.jpg This is my Blue Cadet and it might be hard to see in the pic, but the leaves are very mottled and have darker green bleeding between the veins. At first I tought it was just the way the leaves were getting their blue coloring, but...

Hello everyone and thank you all for the warm welcome! :D I'm kind of a newbie (but learning fast) about hostas and found out about this site through the Hosta Forum on GW. I started out this year with 2 hostas and now am up to 13. I'm running out of room in my shade garden, so am going to try growi...
