Hi @fiesty76. Ahhh...perhaps it's your soil. Maybe relocate them?? Shade is key as these babies are pretty hard to kill otherwise. Some of my breeds end up looking like swiss cheese by summers end from bugs.

Regarding our rumps...each year my progression down hill has challenged me to find ways of getting out in my yard and gardens. Where there's a will there's a way but, whatever I'm physically able to do makes me pay in a very debilitating way. Kind of like a diabetic physically being able to eat sugar and bad food but, paying the price dearly for their escapades.

I'm glad to hear you find ways to be outdoors that bring you happiness! Keep it up and good luck with your hostas.

Be well
Rachel
