Last fall I did a post about redoing the Hosta Garden Bed which you can read here if you’re interested. Basically I divided the 7 Royal Standard Hostas that existed in this bed into 28 smaller divisions. Some were potted up for a co-worker of my husband’s and the rest were replanted in this staggered pattern. They may take a couple of seasons to make a dense mass but that’s okay with me. I pre-ordered Daffodils in bulk to add to the bed this fall. The rest of the plantings include masses of unknown yellow and white ‘Thalia’ Daffodils, a Rhododendrum, two Viburnums and two Nandinas. The fountain was a early b-day present last year and it rounds out this simple bed. With a fresh layer of mulch and the edging completed it really looks great. I can’t wait to see how it looks in a few more months. I’ll keep you posted on the progress of this garden.

I always enjoy seeing before and after photos. The hostas will fill out this bed in no time!
Thanks Rose, me too.
I hope so, I think after another season or two it will be lush & thick again.

That garden will be so lush and thick with hostas by the summer! Very nice.
Thanks Janet, from your lips to God’s ears I hope.
