Re[2]: new kid on the block


lancifolia - good for deer fodder and rabbit food.

Once I overdivided it and thought I'd sell it. 3 years later I sold it as
bare roots, leaves cut off, $0.50/lb 25 lb minimun order!  About 200 lbs
were sold for those people who had deer and rabbit problems, to plant on
the edge of their beds. Alex Summers gave us the idea. Cheap protection


In Minnesota in 1990 at the National Convention we went to a country club
to see their hosta plantings. One of the most spectacular uses of
lancifolia was a very long, probably 200 ' walkway with very lush large
lancifolia lining each side. Gorgeous in bloom, perfect placement!

Lancifolia may be underutilized - it really could be better described as an
upgraded liriope.

Welcome Hank,

You have been at this hosta thing much longer than I have, you must be
shy,
something that I have never been accused of.

Even thought I have only known these people for a short while I almost
feel
like I have known some of them all my life.  I have more in common
with most
of these people than I can list.

You should pipe in because you have a great writing style, fun to
read, neat
story.

Ah...lancifolia, I still look on mine with fondness, I didn't even
know that
it was a hosta when I first got it, planted right next to Blue Mammoth
which
is never blue in this climate, but beautiful anyway.

Later,
Narda
