Hosta

Few gardeners need to be introduced to hostas, a familiar feature of contemporary gardens. We offer unusual varieties not often seen including new selections from Japan. We especially like the new dwarf forms and white-flowered mutations of familiar species. Hostas thrive in moderate shade in well-drained soil. The small types are useful for the rock garden and troughs. All are very cold hardy.
