Are the Orange Pixie's a small compact plant? They have striking color!

Pixies are usually about 15-20 inches tall but behave like all other bulb lilies. Sorry to butt in there.
Love that hosta!

You really do have a way with hostas, TQ! I wish mine looked half as happy as yours do.

How often are u watering your hostas? Do u mulch them to help retain the water and keep the soil cooler? That might help them. The hotter u have it, depending on your exposure, the more water they will need. I also use Safer slug bait too which really helps. It is safe and will not hurt wild life if they eat it. I also use soaker hoses under the mulch. The hostas u have might be the type that normally have big leaves, or u have them planted in too deep of shade. The deeper the shade the less leaves but bigger the leaves grow to try and catch more light. In this pic I'm posting the big hosta up against my house, Sagae, the leaves are quite big, almost double width of my fist. The one beside it, Paul's Glory, it's leaves are even wider, about 3 times the width of my fist at the widest part. That garden gets full morning light from 6 a.m. until noon. But I'm in zone 2 so the sun isn't as strong as the rest of u would have. Debbie
