| heyj ... and UK and please UK ... correct me if i am wrong ... UK is near 60 latitude .... or so ... and yet.. because of the north Atlantic drift ... ocean currents... they barely know what winter is .... nor summer for that matter ... lol ... they are extremely temperate .... i doubt there is any soil freeze ... and i am talking down in the civilized parts.. lol ... not the north.. scotland ... actually... i wouldnt be surprised if they are barely able to hold the requisite dormancy length in some areas ... so getting plants this time of year.. is probably no problem at all ... and holding them over winter the same .... did i come even close UK????? on the other hand .. they are so far north ... with the declination of the sun and all two things happen... one .... ALL HOSTA CAN BE GROWN FULL SUN .... the sun just isnt intense enough to burn them .. and... two.. they are a pasty looking peeps... cause the sun doenst get high/intense enough to get a good tan ... rotflmbo .... [just kidding on that one UK] .. now go try to wrap your head around all that... ken ps: that is why grenfell books are NOT GOOD for cultural info like SUN REQUIREMENTS .... go figure pps: and just about every hosta grower i personally know over there .. grows them in pots... due to yard size restrictions .... |
