Hosta are the work horses of the shady garden. Hosta are grown as specimen plants, as background for other shade loving plants, and as edging plants. In the past hosta have been grown primarily for their beautiful foliage; however, today many breeders are working on flowers, many now have nice flowers and as an added bonus several have wonderfully fragrant flowers. The best performance is usually obtained with a couple of hours of morning sun to light shade. Our selection offers newer choice hosta available and several good older varieties we feel deserve a place in your garden. "H" stands for height of plant and "W" stands for width of plant as registered. Plants in your garden will approximate these measurements as growing conditions and culture can make a difference. Also sometimes a plant when registered had not been growing for many years and will attain a larger size with more age in the garden. NR indicates plant is not registered. Our hosta are container grown and have excellent root systems that will re-establish quickly in your garden. Once settled in your garden, the plants will begin to take on their mature leaf characteristics. We do not offer small immature recently propagated plants. Our hosta are sent bare root and can be shipped spring through fall. Hardy zones 3-9.

Sizes: Mini = mini or dwarf; S = small, M = medium; L = large. Sizes generally refer to the eventual height of the plant, not the plant's width.
