I do have that one! You're most likely correct, thanks!

Thanks for watching 😊

Yes!! So fun!

Great question! So the simple answer is yes! You can totally plant under pines... the complicated answer is that you may have to tend to them more than you would normally. They will need more water and fertilizer because of the competing roots but it is possible and as long as you give them ample added moisture and nutrients, you will be successful. :-)

Thank you for your advice. I'll try planting one and see how it does. I'll let you know later. Thanks again.

Depending on budget, you can buy anywhere from liner size to 2 gallon sized. It takes a good 3-5 years for Hostas (especially the medium to large varieties) to mature. The giant Hostas can take longer. It happens faster for some varieties than others.

I always group 3-5 so I have a drift of that color 😊

I don’t have any major issues with slugs. We have a pretty dry area…. But even if a super wet year… we see them but we also have lots of birds, snakes and toads… it helps!

I buy from local nurseries as well as hosta groups on Facebook that have reputable sellers. New Hampshire Hostas is also an awesome place to order from online. They have amazing stock and big plants.

Hi! They don’t do as well in part shade as they would in full sun… but, they do grow and bloom and so I leave them in there as a nice filler… I would say they need at least 3-4 hours of direct sun to be happy, over 6 to thrive well with the flowers you’d expect. 🙂

Generally hostas need a cold dormant period and are hardy in zones 3-8 (some varieties zone 9). Not sure what zone in Texas you’re in but I hope you can!

I use Liquid Fence Deer spray a lot and I have a big crazy dog that loves to chase any wildlife that comes into the yard…. Neither are a foolproof solution but they allow me to enjoy the gardens with minimal deer grazing. 🙂

I use only composted mulch. 😊

New Hampshire Hostas is a reliable source online that I use but I purchased all the existing ones from Facebook groups and local nurseries here in NY. 😀

Thank you! I appreciate your comment!

Thank you! I appreciate your comment, thanks for watching

Thank you

Thank you :-)

I’ll have to check that one out! I can’t wait until it’s a mature clump!

I don’t have them marked and there are many that I don’t know off the top of my head. I certainly have my favorites though and try to purchase ones that stand out so I can remember them :-)

Hi Rose! Thanks so much! It sounds like you're on the right track with naming it... I do have a ton of Francis Williams but I do think I bought an Earth Angel at some point and have no idea where it went ( I have too many to remember now.) haha! Appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching :-)

We sure do... deer mainly and I use the liquid deer fence for now but that is not foolproof either. It’s funny, I always add more hostas every year and think to myself “ there you go, deer, more entrees on the buffet!” Haha. Haven’t had trouble with rabbits or anything like that though thanks to our territorial pups. They do help.

Gardening WITH KIDS, yours are so lovely! Thanks for sharing.

Luxejungle M Hi! That is pulmonaria (lungwort), it gets pink and/or purple flowers in the spring.

jeanie Jacobson I have purchased mainly from garden centers locally but when first starting out I ordered some things from catalogs.

Sam Cole I’ve purchased most of them at local nurseries, I’ve been given some divisions of things, some mail order... they’ve come from various places :-)
