:euw::euw: BM they are nasty!! I hate slugs. 02

 

Hi Nut
Hostas die right down for the winter and as redstar says they will increase in size when they come again,
When they reappear in spring they always startle me, you will suddenly see this green lump and wonder what on earth it is ,then watch it unfurl to your beautiful hosta

 

O2, if you hate them that much, leave them on the side of the plate. Or add salt.:D

 

Dai why dont you start up a sluggery. I'll send you all mine in a jiffy bag.:euw::D

 

red Ive not planted them up as I have a container garden so I hope to keep them mobile

 

OK, well they need to go dormant. So put them in the corner outside for the winter in a well drained pot.

 

If they are small plantlets you may find they will need the heat of the sun on their pots to get them going. I had a batch of fresh plantlet varieties delivered one November and it took a good deal of sunshine to get them to wake up the following year.

 

Well BM, guess one day you will have to see all my hostas that come up like gang busters every year in this very shady property. And this is old guys and newly split and new variety etc.

 

Mine were from an online catalogue and disappointlingly small. This is my hosta bed in 2006 I think, but needs splitting really.

 

Very pretty. If your going to get another variety, I would suggest "Sum of Substance" you need a good yellow.

 

Got two of those :wink::D

 

Thats great dear.

 

Takes your breath away
