any problems with these?

Postby eastwood2007 » May 31, 2010 10:41 am

HI, all!

Could use your expert help with this...

A few days ago I purchased some forget-me-nots and creeping veronica at Walmart and a hardware store.

They looked so nice....but then I thought...,"do these carry any pests or diseases that could be passed to my hostas?"

What do you think?

I've never noticed any disease problems with Forget-Me-Nots, but they will run rampant. Put them somewhere it is okay for them to run and pop up all over.

Hi Charla,

I don't know of any problems with these either, but it is always good to watch the perennials just like hostas for weird leaves and things like nematodes.
