Zone 2-9 Growing and collecting Hosta is becoming one of the favorite pastimes of many gardeners. Foliage varies in size(from mini to Giant ones), shape, color and texture. Hosta are great combined with pulmonaria, heuchera, ferns, and shade loving ground covers. I am delighted to be able to offer some very new and more desirable slug resistant varieties. Most best planted in part shade.   Some of the codes used below;    *L = limited and *VL = sometimes less than 10 available/order early   S=more sun tolerant Sh=prefer full shade SR=more slug resistant/thicker substance  {*No further discounts on all season specials}     Consider our stock being shipped as #1 grade plants not domant liners like some other mail order companies.  Foliage is not cut and shipped very carefully so you can transplant with ease.   Feel free to come visit us.   Do not forget to order early for best selection and choice.  If you do not see a picture of the listed hosta or would like to see another specimen try;  Hosta Library   Again this year I am hosting 'Hosta Fest..'  the first two weeks in July.    For more information summarized about Hosta click here
