Marilyn

While Hosta ‘Marilyn’ is supposed to be a small to medium sized plant, mine has remained on the dwarf size.  It’s probably in too much sun although once the perennials and even the annuals grow out they cast a lot of shade.  It probably also gets too little water.  This year I moved the soaker hose so it’s a bit closer and we’ll see if that helps.  I’m still not thinking of moving it but I might pay for that thought if it decides to disappear completely next year. 

Marilyn is a cross between ‘Gold Drop’ and ‘Green Piecrust’.  It has yet to achieve a size that shows off any of its leaf ripples but … we’ll cross our fingers.
