That is probably the key answer I need to know to get started. I will try
and add more soil near the hosta to keep the crown from swimming.
What can I hope to gain from putting hosta in these conditions. I am hoping
fragrants will bloom and set seed better, and whites won't melt out. Are my
guesses correct?
I will try and get a copy of your article
thanks ,
