Hostas: What's looking good this early May?, 1 by ViolaAnn

kiseta - good that your 'Moonstruck' is in a pot. I've found this one very fussy to grow. Too much sun and the leaves will melt out. It can do with some morning sun, but keep it out of afternoon sun. It won't get large, but it WILL grow. I took five divisions from mine last year and still have a decent plant. But I thought I'd try growing it in a different location to see if it does better. Gave the rest to a plant sale. When it's doing well, it's gorgeous. Good luck with it.

virginiarose - 'Tiny Winy Bikini' should be spelled 'Teeny-weeny Bikini' and it's the smallest hosta I have. Very tiny indeed.

Irene- that's a good looking LLG. I don't have it. Had one once, but it rapidly went downhill and when I sent it back to the nursery from where it came, it tested positive for HVX and the symptoms looked so different I hadn't suspected it. The first pic shows what it looked like the first year I had it before it started looking sick.

Second pic shows what it looked like when I sent it back.
