If you are using them as a companion planting I’ve found that they definitely need to be kept more moist than the plants in the ground. Do you remember what the variety is that you are working with? __________________ A weed us a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Its in a tray of some Mondo grass. Hasn't really had a chance to dry out completely. Maybe it just need more water. I know my regular hostas love water. Thanks.

A picture is always helpful. Dave Last edited by Dav4 : 5-May-2008 at 08:31 AM.
