Hostas—I just can’t say enough about them! They are excellent
perennials that come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, color variations,
and textures. Yes, there are many more (2000+) than the three varieties
many people are familiar with—no more are they just fillers for a shady
area, but instead have become a collector’s delight!
We try to grow unusual varieties that will fit into many situations such
as specimen plants, edgers, groundcovers, and background plants. The sizes
indicated are sizes at maturity, which generally take a few years to attain
(be patient—it’s worth waiting for). Also, although hostas can
generally be divided quite frequently, they look their best when you allow
them to get to their mature sizes in order to see them in their full glory.
Come see some great specimens at the farm—we’d love to share our
addiction with you!!
As we don’t use chemicals, I’ve found a great source for an
all natural slug and snail control called “Escar-Go”
(great name, huh?!). It is safe for pets and other wildlife and can be
obtained through a company called Gardens
Alive.
Another thing
you Hosta fanatics might think about..why not join a Hosta Society to
share your passion?! A couple you might want to check out: The
Northern Illinois Hosta Society and The
American Hosta Society. One last thing; a great resource for pictures
is the Hosta Library.
Now, on to the pieces de resistance!!!

| This older cultivar STILL
catches my eye—it has great substance with a wavy, piecrust edge. In my
opinion, it’s a must for any hosta collector as it not only is a great
specimen, but makes a wonderful foil for other large hostas. |
