Wide Brim, Post Rain.

9 years ago

We got a good thunder storm tonight, all the hostas are positively glowing in the gloaming of dusk.

Wide brim is a pretty common plant, but I like the neat mounding habit and seer suckered leaf.

Lovely Wide Brim you have there.

I just "rescued" mine this year. It was growing under a shrub. I've had it for years (post hostaholic days LOL), and it should have been much bigger than what it was. (My fault for that.) Hopefully it will recover quickly and look like yours!

Yeah,Wide Brims rank right up there with Gold Standard,or Golden Tiaras. They always grow,and you can't hardly kill 'em. I have ten of them,and have never lost one,in 11 years of growing hostas. Phil
