Using hosta to create shade for my Acers and ferns
Comments on this photo
Poor old hosta! Won't it suffer in all that brilliant, hot Mancunian sun?

That word, 'Mancunian'...always conjures up something full of Eastern Promise, for me...
...and 'hot Mancunian sky', well..............! ;)

Lol...I am in East Manchester..I will put a pic up for you Karen...Make your fantacy a reality.
This Hosta thrives in direct sun Gattina it has never seen shade in 15 years. It doesn't get bothered by slugs or snails much either...Flea beetle occasionaly gets it late summer. Not a clue what it's name is though.

"Hot Mancuniam Sky..... Sounds like a bit of a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge......

Clever idea, one we could probably all do in some way.
