Hosta
TINY HOSTA MIX
SKU: 134-10
Hostas are a garden staple! They add a tropical and fresh look to the and draw the eye with their stand-out leaves. Hostas are versatile, rarely need to be watered, and 'behave' in their tidy clumps.
These seeds are for tiny hostas. Plants are compact, and the flowers are created in abundance!
Sadly, there are no Hostas that come true to variety from seed, especially with variegated types (types with more than one color on the leaves). This is why seed companies do not offer hosta seeds for sale. This is true of ALL hosta seeds. However, Hosta seeds do come true to size! Seeds taken from small hostas will produce new small hostas! This seed mix is taken from all-small hostas. The pictures in this listing are our own hostas!
One interesting thing about Hosta plants, is that they will keep growing as long as they have light. This means, that if you want to speed-up hosta growth during the growing season, artificial lighting (increasing the day length) can help you get your hosta plants bigger, faster! Be sure to allow you plants to acclimatize back to regular lighting later in the season (and plant them in the ground), so they will go dormant in the winter.
One of the images shows the variable size of our hosta leaves. These seeds are for the small hosta.
