Must be a vigorous lot, Paul. Almost nothing can kill a hosta here. I think
I have hostas older than the age of my house. I did not have the buttercups
in good soil or in the sun. I will keep a more careful eye on them as they
are now in sun where a tree was cut down. When people look at them, they
often comment on why I would have them in the garden regarding the double
buttercups as pests.
Other pests according to some gardeners are Vinca minor, all forms, monarda,
Hemerocallis 'Stella d' Oro', Digitalis, Coreopsis 'Moonbeam', malva, all
kinds, Lunaria rediva, Stachys, catchfly, comfrey, and the most curious of
all to me Lysimachia mummularia aurea. That last one is also grown in a
common green form and for years I thought it was a weed until I saw it in a
fine nursery for sale.
