This is what happens when Palace Purple sits in the baking sun all day long with no shade whatsoever (and no this isn't in my garden,lol).
On Saturday, DH and I went for one of our mini-hikes in Goderich, ON. We always stop to visit the lighthouse that the area is known for and this year the nearby owners of a B & B decided to plant hostas, heucheras and zinnias around a monument of sorts. The sun beats down from various angles throughout the day because it's so open in this spot. Needless to say, the zinnias were loving it but the poor hostas and heuchs were frying something terrible. Purple Palace was beyond recognition and if it wasn't for the tags, I'd never of known for certain who these poor souls were. I believe the area to be zone 5a or b.
I wanted to knock on the door of the B & B and tell them but then I figured some people might take offense on being told how to raise their kids.
