    Hello everybody :spinning:

    I'm trying a new hosta this year called Hosta 'Siberian Tiger'.

    Looks awesome I think. Planting them out once I've been to get some more compost as I prefer my hostas in containers.

    Anyone trying anything new this year?

      That is a pretty impressive hosta! I am not trying new hostas personally, because I hate constantly having to kill slugs. (I don't like them, but I don't enjoy slicing them in half with scissors right before bed either...) As a matter of fact, one new related thing that I plan to try, is garlic spray, to deter them. I hope it works.

          This is Essence of Sunset, in the middle @Banana Man. I put my best hostas on a bench to deter slugs and it has worked ………..so far :biggrin:.

            I'm a sucker for a hosta, yours look great. I really hope mine grow as good as the pictures.

              Definitely one I'd grab, but it seems out of stock everywhere!
