steg, yeah there is some open spots. I need to move more.

In the 2nd picture (actually its in all 3 but you can see it more in 2) is Green Piecrust. Its huge! It is actually hinding 2-3 other hostas.Guardian Angel is behing it,along with Millies Memories and another smaller yellow hosta. And I think that is Mr Big in back of GP.


scooterbear. touch hosta means less weeds...i think.

Renaldo, Spring Fling is a very nice Hosta. Id seen it in others gardens pics and knew I had to have it.

Beautiful! I love the arbor over all of them. I need somethign like that to protect mine from the hot afternoon sun.
I like the look when they are all together and touching like that. Mine stay that way because they are all competing for the shade and there is only so much room under the tree :lol:

Did I mention I grow my Hosta in pots?

I also was intrigued by your arbor. Great idea and it expands the part of your garden in which you can put hostas.

I had my DH build that a couple of yrs ago as my collection grew I needed the space and shade. Especially since the tree (ash) at the south end of the arbor has those ash borers in it and is dying at the top = leaving my hostas without shade. Its $1000. to remove the tree :(
but the afternoon sun still hits the hostas at the edge burning the edges on some.
