Re: Looking for a good border Hosta - Suggestions?

Great suggestions all. Looks like I have a bit of research to do and then a tough choice to make, but then again, I can't really go wrong, right!

Re: Looking for a good border Hosta - Suggestions?

I considered Patriot, but am afraid it will get too big for what I want. I almost bought Minuteman at Lowes, . . . luckily I got to this Board before doing that and now am hesitant to ever buy a hosta from a big box store again (virus X). There is some direct morning sun. I will look into Lemon Fros...

The containers from Grand Haven do say Zelenka Nursery, which must be owned by or part of Berry Family of Nurseries. Anyhow...

Question Re: Berry Family of Nurseries

A local nursery where I live sells hostas from Berry Family of Nurseries. It appears they come from Michigan, which I assume means Zelenka Nursery. Does anyone know whether this Nursery currently has any problems with HVX. I read an old (2005 ish) article from Chris on this site (I think) which ment...
