New hosta projects

Ottawa, Canada

The drip line from overhead my garden was beginning to destroy some of my plants. My husband had the eaves throughs cleaned but that didn't correct the broblem, so I installed rocks and stones on ground to diflect the soil errosion. I ended up with something that I thought looked like a japenese garden. However the remaining bed didn't. I've decided to remove some hostas in the remaining bed, that are pretty damaged by earwigs and to upright ones in their stead.Does anyone have any suggestions?

Most of these are large and sun-tolerant because that is what I was looking for but you can do your own research, just giving you something to start with. Good luck with your project and keep me informed! :)

Yeah that is really cool, I printed three list and now I have all the uprights and all the sun-tolerant Hostas. I wish I knew about that three months ago because I have looked up each Hosta separately to see if it was sun tolerant and to see if it was upright or mound.
I had actually made my own list. :(

I also have a drip line and I planted monkey grass and lilies etc. and I have a few small river rocks. The other stuff is about two or three feet from foundation. Hope this helps and thanks a lot for the link!

Thanks everyone for the help. I was prepared to spend the day in the garden removing the old hostas but it rained all day. The lists helped with my research.
