Flowering Hosta
Found on rocky stream sides,
woodlands and alpine meadows in China, Korea, Japan and East
Russia, Hosta is a family of plants with over 100 varieties.
Immerging from deep below the leaves, Hosta sends skyward shafts
of aromatic bell, funnel, or spider shaped flowers in a wide array
of pastel colors. Prized worldwide for its bold foliage found in
blue, grey, light and deep shades of green, solid and variegated.
Hosta will produce dense mounds of overlapping lance-shaped or
heart-shaped leaves. Hosta may be grown as accent plants or as
groundcovers under deep rooted deciduous trees, in a mixed border,
or near water. Smaller hostas are excellent for a rock garden,
peat bed or containers. |

Hosta
are one of the most rewarding, virtually pest free, perfect
perennial foliage plants available. They add a wonderful accent
to any garden and have fragrant summer flowers that can be
enjoyed early summer to late fall.
We have tested over 80 species of Hosta in both Northern and
Southern ranges for both heat and cold tolerance and have come up with our top 10, that are
steady bloomers, which pop up in early spring and don't fade till
late fall. Most other varieties we have found to be short lived
or require steady pampering to reach their full potential.
You won't get field dug,
bare root or immature plants. All our Hosta are 3-4 year old
plants with an average of 2 to 5 plants per pot, are extremely
well established and ready for division
upon receipt. Hostas come in the growers pot with the growers
soil mix (NOT
BARE ROOT), are very
well packed and only mildly trimmed before shipping. There is
NO waiting years for your Hosta to establish itself, NO
guessing if a bare root plant will survive the shock of division
and transportation, NO having to plant immediately just
keep the pot in a shady area and water often. |
|
|
The care & culture
info. below is a general guideline and may or may not work in your
environment. |
|
|
|
|
Ideal use:
Border and independent flower
garden, 24" diameter 6" deep dish garden. |
|
Fertilize
- Fertilizer can be detrimental to colors and too much can kill the plant - so
fertilize sparingly with 10-10-10 or 12-12-12. For in ground
planting, broadcast a balanced granular fertilizer once a
month. |
|
|
|
Propagation
- As shown above remove pups and/or divide offsets during the
spring and summer when containerized plant gets bound or outside in
ground
plant becomes too compact. Start in shady area with no direct sunlight. New plants should be established in 1-2 months. |
|
When you receive your new Hosta
- Open your box carefully and water immediately. |
|
Planting Information -
(Click here) Plant in ground in well drained, moist humus rich soil in the spring to fall. Plant no closer than 12"-14" apart
for large plants and 6"-10" for smaller plants,
to allow clumps to form and develop properly. If planted too tightly there will
not be enough room for root expansion
and plants will not reach their full height and bloom potential. |
|
Pests - Deer
love Hosta! Without having to set deer traps, we recommend that you
simply don't attempt these plants if you have a steady flow of
woodland creatures. Also slugs can be a minor problem in early
spring - to rid yourself of these unwanted pests simply
sprinkle some slug and snail bait around the base of the plants.

Flowering
Hosta
small or large make
a beautiful addition to any home, office or patio. They are easy to grow
and simple to divide and share with friends.
Hosta depending on the species, can often be divided into 4
or more plants in just 1 year providing you with the opportunity to
spread their warmth throughout your patioscape, tropical garden, or maybe share
with friends. |
|
Note: Some Hosta species are limited to only a single crop
in a year and often sell out fast! Should you not see the
Hosta
plant you are looking for, it is sure to show up with the next
seasons crop. |
