I was thinking the same thing today after walking the garden,
my 'Lady Isobell Barnett' has a second blush of leaves, even
though we had 23 days on 95 degree temps!! Since Saturday our
temperatures are almost back to normal, mid 60's at night with
mid 80' during the day. >>
Hey ! Maybe we have made a discovery about thick-substanced hostas.
Why do they perform so well in high heat and drought?
At least, we can now recommend these to our friends in arid climates.
I realize the adage that a hosta can lose 1/3 of its moisture content in one
day.
