Question from
Laura Thomas
I have 2 hostas (So Sweet) in pots which died back over winter but there is still no sign of growth on them yet. Is it too early or have they died?
My 'Jack Frost' Brunnera is just putting up leaves so had expected to see something from the hostas.
Would appreciate some advice
thanks -
Laura
