I - want- an Empress Wu! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove your purchases! I bought Empress Wu last year, priced ridiculously low for some reason. It faded and shrunk with our drought + 100s temps but seems to be coming back strong. I planted it in a huge empty space which I hope it will eventually fill!
ReplyDeleteI hope that Lilac does well for you...there is nothing that can quite match that scent! 'Empress Wu' looks might impressive...I'm a sucker for those enormous Hotas (like 'Sum and Substance' and 'Big Daddy').
ReplyDeleteGood Purchaes and Oh my, Empress Wu is such a big boy!
ReplyDeleteThis is the fourth spring for my Empress Wu and it is VERY large this year. Very impressive hosta. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog....who knew I lived that close to you!! I live in Killen with my husband. I have just gotten into gardening some the last couple of years. I have an oakleaf hydrangea in my yard and it is just getting to big. How and when do you trim these so you don't kill it? Thanks so much, Love your blog!! Jessica

ReplyDeleteHi Jessica! You can trim the oakleafs just about anytime (except winter) but if you do it now you will probably be cutting off your blooms. So, the best time would be after the blooms turn brown.
