Thanks for such a great video really think you have a great collection. Hostas a such a versatile plant very collectable and look fantastic planted on mass
@@truthfinder6932 I'm recovering, I only bought 1 this year (Bridal Falls). Although I did sell a bunch on Kijiji. Canadian equivalent of Craigslist. It covered the cost of the mulch and fertilizer ( mostly)
Hello James, please advise whether pulmonaria is invasive in your garden. I consider buying pulmonaria but some people consider it overly vigorous grower.
Hi, you made a great hosta garden, I don't manage to keep my hostas, they are eaten by slugs and snails. What do you do against slugs and snails ? Thanks.
I don't do anything. I really don't have much of a problem with slugs. There are slug resistant varieties. Sieboldiana and Sum & Substance are two of the more common slug resistant varieties.
Loose soil is beneficial. Keeping slugs at bay as well. And if the frost gets to them then chop em back immediately. Mulching is also beneficial...as seen here. Not too much sunlight...certainly not heavy exposure to it around midday.
Mine as well. I only have around 15-20 varieties currently, but many of them came out of my mom and grandma’s gardens over the years so they’re all special to me
I am impressed with the layout of your hosta gardens. I really like the color arrangement, and the way the heights are arranged so that the shorter ones are in front, and the taller ones in the back.
Is that creeping Jenny in one of your beds? Do you have a problem keeping it under control? I’m debating on planting it in one of my flower beds. What zone are you?
Angela, it is creeping jenny. It can be a problem if it gets in the lawn. I only plant it in contained or raised beds so I can control it. Thanks for watching. I am in Zone 5b southern Ontario.
Thanks Kimberly, I use an 18-18-18 I get in 25kg bags at the farm supply store. I fertilize once in late april/ early May pretty heavy when the bullets are just poking out. And again in early June just before I mulch.
Hi James looks like everything bounced back well from the polar vortex. We had a few heavy frosts and a snowfall in late April in the Pocono mountains Pa and my hostas looked terrible but they're coming back nicely. Good to see Dexter again !!! 🐈
LOVE your garden. I was trying to write some of the names down as you went lol. @11:44 top left hand side in the back. Can you please tell me the name of that one? Thank you so much for sharing
Your garden is lovely! I really like the combinations you have put together and love that you included most of the names. I inherited 1 hosta (-name un known- large plain med. green puckered leaves & light purple blooms-if you have any ideas, LOL) when I moved in it was about 2' across x 1.5' tall and now is about 6' across x 2.5' tall 4 years later. it was my inspiration to start a hosta garden and now I have close to 50 with room for more. what are your favorite sources for your hostas? I find ordering online is pretty expensive for the size you get but locally there just isn't much variety.
For an ID post a pic on the houzz hosta forum, you'll get an answer. I've never ordered a hosta online, I like to see the plant before I buy. I like Tree Valley garden center in Stouffville. There are also a number of speciality hosta sellers within an hour of me. I'm out of room now (just shy of 100) I'm actually looking to decrease the number of cultivars I have. I'm getting too crowded. Enjoy your plants.
This is fantastic. I'm so glad I found your chanel. Are you in canada? I'm in zone 5 too, near Chicago. Our polar votex two years ago took out massive boxwood.
Hello. I just love your Hosta garden!! You mention Canadian Tire, what province are you in. I’m in AB. Zone 4. So harsh winters. Lots of -40 and some -50 dips. I’m hoping some hardy Hostas will work for me. I have a North facing back yard I can plant lots in. And also a north east side wall with morning sun until around 1330 then it’s all shade. Any recommendations please on varieties you think will work for me? I have 2 PW Shadowland Diamond Lake. And a few others just labeled ‘hosta’ lol thanks Home Depo. Cheers!
Hostas will do fine in zone 4. Really its whatever you like. Alot of the older varieties are more durable than the newer more derived cultivars. Some of my more vigorous favorites are Atlantis, Luna Moth, Goodness Gracious there are many others.
Just started some barefoot hostas, I buy them through A Catolog, they are small but looking forward to them getting bigger, there was supposed to be a white one ,but all I see is stripes 🤔
All "white" hostas ( white feather being the most common) start out white in the spring. But green up as the season progresses. They have to, as they need the chlorophyll to grow.
@@dudley0826 Thanks, my first time buying them, so I didn't know what to expect, Your Collections is beautiful, and well put together, I can only dream 😊
All it takes is time, water, decent soil, and a few shade trees. It's not expensive. But you have to be patient. 8 years ago when I moved here there was nothing but weeds and an old plastic kids playset. 15 yards of triple mix and 6 trees ( all less than 50.00) plus several years of hosta buying, and this is the result. I'm not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. I did this pretty cheaply.
Your hosts are beautiful. It's so obvious how you care for them. I certainly don't have as many as you do but I have a few. One time I was asked why I didn't add color in my hosta garden. My hostas to me are a way of letting my eyes and smells take a brake to sooth my thoughts. Wow..my sum and substance hosta is so big this year! Enjoyed your tour.
@@brendalee2896 Yes, hosta gardens are very peaceful. It's a very tropical look in temperate gardens. S&S is a real giant. I think most people dont realize how big it gets when they buy a one gallon pot at the nursery. Thanks for the kind words.
Olá ! Tenho visto essas plantas e realmente muito lindas , acabei de receber as cementes que eu comprei no aplicativo da china não sei se autentica ,vc poderia me enviar algumas de duas cementes por favor eu moro no Brasil rio de janeiro ?
Thanks for such a great video really think you have a great collection. Hostas a such a versatile plant very collectable and look fantastic planted on mass
Thanks for watching Mark. They can be addictive to collect.
Naw, I could quite anytime.
🤪😡 NOT !!! I'm a hostaholic for sure.

Beautiful hosta garden !! Do you have a video that shows the names of all of your hostas ? 😍
If you check out the 2021 garden tour I name more of them
Необыкновенной красоты хосты. Посажено с идеальным вкусом.
Does XOCTbl = Hosta?
I love hostas
Me too!
Wow it’s really beautiful. I have questions for you. Is hostas can grow indoor? Hope you will give me an answer. Thank you so much.
No. They need a dormancy period.
Thank you for your reply, I’m a hostas lover.
Hello James, please advise whether pulmonaria is invasive in your garden. I consider buying pulmonaria but some people consider it overly vigorous grower.
I wouldn't consider it invasive at all.
Got an idea how to deal with slugs effectively?
I dont do anything for slugs, keeping the beds tidy reduces numbers somewhat.
I know this video is old but I just found it and oh my goodness!! What a beautiful Hosta garden you have!! Thank you for sharing! 😊♥️🙏🏼
Какой вы молодец,очень ухоженный красивый сад,процветания вашему саду!😊
Absolutely beautiful, love the color combinations

Wow those hostas look very healthy and well care for 👍🏾👍🏾......I have a few myself but looks nothing like yours.
Thanks for the compliment. Hostas need proper siting and lots of water to get big.

Great hostas James. I have over 90 hostas in my garden. My favourite plant.
I'm about the same I think 95 or so. I'd get more, but there's limitations in a subdivision lot! Thanks for watching.
@@dudley0826 Yeah, I'm close to my limit on my property, as well 🙂
I'll love to meet you guys. I love hostas but where I'm at in the caribbea I am only able to find one, hummmmm
Wow. I only have 4 hosta varieties.
Mine as well. I only have around 15-20 varieties currently, but many of them came out of my mom and grandma’s gardens over the years so they’re all special to me
Hello from Ukraine! I enjoyed watching your garden. It’s full of love and beauty) OASIS! Marvellous! Dream in reality! 🧡
Your hostas are so bright! Awesome landscape
Thanks

Beautiful!
Very nice hosta gardens. Thx for sharing. Big Dancing Queen.
Great sedum garden.
Regal Splendor.
I enjoyed the tour. Do you belong to a hosta club?
Thanks for watching, I don't belong to any garden club. This is my personal oasis.

КАКАЯ КРАСОТИЩЕ !!!!!😀😊😉😁😍
James, what is the very narrow ,tall ,lime cupped Hosta on the right edge in front of the Sagae? At the 4:16 mark
"World Cup". Its around 4 years old.
@@dudley0826 It is an accurate descriptive name ! Hadn't heard of it.. Thanks for the reply and info.
Love your beautiful garden! You are truly a plant collector. I totally understand bc I want one of everything I see!
Never knew there are so many varieties
Hi Lorraine. There are aprox. 8000 named cultivars. I have around 90-95. Lots to choose from for sure.
Wow! You got a lot of different kind of hostas there.. thinking doing around my trees behind my house. 👍🏼
Some trees are better than others. Norway maples, lindens, and fruit trees are difficult to plant around. Good luck with your gardens.
Cheers.
Gorgeous! Do you and how often fertilize? What do you use?
Thanks Kimberly, I use an 18-18-18 I get in 25kg bags at the farm supply store. I fertilize once in late april/ early May pretty heavy when the bullets are just poking out. And again in early June just before I mulch.

Its amazing how they bounce back. Dexter is doing well. Thanks for watching Jeff. Have a great summer.
Olá ,por favor comprei as cementes mas sei com germinalas alguém poderia me encinar?
LOVE your garden. I was trying to write some of the names down as you went lol. @11:44 top left hand side in the back. Can you please tell me the name of that one? Thank you so much for sharing
The green one is Ligularia "othello". The blue one is Hosta "gentle giant"
You have a very nice and beautiful garden! I love those different Hostas! Enjoy gardening.
Beautiful Garden
Thanks!!
I have the Blue Angel and my goodness it's a slow slow grower! This year it looks it's bluest ever... I think they're about 5 years old.
Wow love those hostas
Me too! Thanks for watching.
Very nice hosts!

Hostas are definitely the best perennials. I'm around 95 or so. Thanks for watching. What are your favorites?
@@dudley0826 Cathedral Windows, Blue Angel, Guacamole, Big Daddy and Regal Splendor are some of my favorites. So many great ones.
