I love to Potter around. I love colours & shapes. My garden is my happy place, I plant for smells, sight and to attract wildlife x

It could change as the leaves age. Or maybe you have a yellow feather. Either way it looks great.

It is for a hosta lol. I planted 3? of these and I'm wondering if I can expect anything from them at all this year. They seem so weak and frail.

If they have close to zero direct sun, @allhop74 you have the best chance of seeing white foliage

@emch two are in full shade, one in dappled so fingers crossed

Well it's been a while but I'm finally back. 2 melanomas removed, one brain tumour destroyed, two kidney angiomyolipomas diagnosed and monitored and one malignant ovarian tumour removed. All in the space of 6 months!!!! It's been a roller coaster ride, but I'm back, new start, new outlook on life, new patch of garden and three of these new beauties to plant. Life is good 😊
