Miss Fabulous, I bought my Japanese Painted Ferns at the local True Value hardware store, and the owner thought they were indoor plants and wouldn't be hardy here. I bought them in '06, and they seem really happy here and grow quickly. This pic is from last year...you could barely see Love Pat, but hopefully this year you will be able to. They seem to have more red in them in the Spring, but they stay pretty all season.

Thanks for your generous green hosta offer, but right now I already have more hosta than I have places for...I'm playing musical hosta, trying to decide what can stay and what needs to find a new home.

I'm looking forward to your mature Love Pat, Pirl. I think Love Pat is supposed to be highly resistant to HVX, so it's one of my few that I don't stress out about.
