RE: Hi

Gasp, she =sells= her Jack Frost Brunnera?! <g> Thanks for your input on division. I feel a little braver about dividing mine after reading all this. However, I'm sure I will not divide it more than into halves. And thanks for the warning about the seedlings. I still get excited about every hosta seedling, even those that I don't want more of, so without your heads-up I would have been ecstatic about a Jack Frost Brunnera seedling. Now, if I happen to get any I'll merely be happy. 

Thanks Lil!

Hi Alyce
Because I love it so much too, I was a bit more careful than usual (also it
cost me a lot when I first bought it!) - dug up the whole plant and divided
the roots kinda carefully. That being said, I have a friend who routinely
splits hers every spring  and puts the pieces in out plant sale - she is much
more aggresive than I was. She literally divides it in half or sometimes
leaves herself only a third. Brave lady!
