    That looks so lush  B)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Looks beautiful, @Hostafan1 . I've always been led to believe that they are very susceptible to slugs (  I'm irrationally squeamish about normal slug and snail patrol , never mind the thought of finding a plethora of them in the verdant hosta foliage) but I think I shall have to be brave looking at your display and attempt one in a pot at some point.
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    Only a short distance from Hostafan and I’m still waiting for mine.

    That's one mighty collection of hostas @Hostafan1. Very impressive. The molluscs must organise package holidays to your garden every year.

    Is it a nursery?
    Maybe you could do a "home video" and send it to GW?  ;)

    Never been successful with hostas in the ground. I salvaged the last remaining pieces last year, placed in a pot and put in a disused east facing corner of the garden - completely forgot about it until last week - seems to be doing great. So will once again try in the ground.

    Any advice?
