Or it could be left in its pot for the season. They do well in pots. This is a good sized plant already.
Later on it will throw up a flower stalk or mauve or white flowers. Cant remember what this one is. Both colours are nice.
This Hosta has apple green leaves with a cream edge.
Hostas die down in the winter to ground level, then come away quickly at this time of the year.
They like shady or partly shady position and dampness. When established they can tolerate dry conditions.
They give a low cushiony effect in the garden.
Pickup is in Kuripuni
Thanks for looking.

Our CBDs have been making headlines lately – they’re not quite the bustling hearts of our cities they once were, with more people flocking to malls instead. The big question is, what do you think should be the focus of a revitalised city centre?

I have here some dwarf and median irises, most of them potted but some are in flower now and can be sold as bare rooted rhizomes.
This is one of the beauties of Bearded Irises. They are so resilient , not fussy and reward you quickly.

This is one of the beauties of Bearded Irises. They are so resilient , not fussy and reward you quickly.
The smallest of these irises is only hand high, the dwarfs are up to 30cm in height and are the first to flower ....which is now.
They do like a sunny position, and do very well in pots also
Only $7 each for the dwarfs and medians
Thanks for looking.
