Don't take this wrong but I have to ask whats special about this hosta it look like just another plain jane green hosta to me.

I have to ask what type of lizards? Do you know? Theres actually a few types of lizards that have live births (Ovoviviparous ). Thanks for the laugh, I'm sure this 1 will be all over the internet.

Disulfoton is a systemic organophosphate insecticide and miticide that is especially effective against sucking insects. This ingredient has long been available under the trade name Di-Syston. Disulfoton is very highly toxic to all mammals by all routes of exposure and products formulated at greater ...

I don't know if I would let it seed, I'd cut the flowers and let it recover and grow. Thats just me. Otherwise using a hosta like Double Dutch might create some interesting yellowish/greenish/greyish seedlings that are reversed and the name would also match.

Have to admit I'm one of those people who doubts it, just from years of working in pest control they are just not considered a pest that eats living plants they usually eat decaying debris. The only way I could see it is if your experiencing crown rot with your hostas. I'd go out late at night and c...

wow, definitely garden worthy and passes the 10 foot rule.

I think the only true dominate trait is there mostly going to be green. Most of its just a good guess or luck. Take a hosta this year and self pollinate it, don't use a plain jane green or a streaked. Pie crusted, red petiols, etc.. and make sure it extremely fertile and produces a lot of seed in a ...

First thank you "Allhuskrred", Allen for some very nice and healthy hostas and very good sized. Sweet Home Chicago Paradise Joyce Pathfinder Stained Glass Now I feel like a slacker, it's been raining here so haven't had much of a chance to get outside so I guess mine will go out next week. Sorry sec...

I'm not a big fan of saying a hosta is bad because we all have different conditions so it's hard to say. My biggest regrets is paying hugh amounts of money for hostas that generally aren't proven and die or just never measure up. Anything thats over $15 will be $15 or less in a few years or it's jus...

A plant auction, wasn't there for hostas, wanted some cheap trees, but when they got to the hostas nobody bid on them so I did and got some good sized hostas for 50 cents each, there were five different hostas and I think I bought about 50 of them. I planted them and gave quite a few away anyways th...

I don't divide mine when this happens, sounds odd but I take a holw saw and drill out the centers. Works every time and is a whole lot easier. Yes the hosta looks funny until it's fully leafed out but the next year the eyes grow back in it's place and looks normal

OW PLEASE OW PLEASE dont let Tigger get my name in the trade. I was wondering where I was going to move my Love Pat to give it some room Don't know what I'd do with 8 more pounds of it.....

What made me nervous was the Southern Blue Shoulders. The Belks used the Southern for their introduced hostas...Souther Dill Pickles and such, I have a few of these southern blue hostas they sold on Ebay, but never registered. The Belks did have some nice hostas though, and did have a good ebay rati...

I'm in
Nanny go buy a hostas that is big enough to divide and split it. Keep half and use the other half for the trade. Win Win situation

First I don't beleive hybrizing ends with just making the cross and then planting the seeds. It's a long process which can take 5 years or more. The hostas have to reach maturity to know exactly what you have. As far as streaked hostas theres only 4 of them anyways small, medium, large, and extra la...

Of course been trying to convince my wife I'm still 29 for years but shes not buying.
My point is though in 20 years I'm going to have to have 2 mortgages, 1 house to live in and another to grow hostas at. I can use all the rooms to grow seedligs in.

Your going to get different opinios whether to buy TC's or OS from everybody and the reason is going to be different. To me even 5 years ago it would have been better to stick with OS but now theres really no difference as long as it's healthy. As far as Ebay goes there are a lot of reputable hosta ...

Depends, I have 2 seedlings that I kept from Twilight a few years ago that are very deep green. But they are the only seedlings I've ever got from this hosta. Other than that have to say I don't keep them I give them to a local nursery so I don't have to cull them

only 34 so I'm still 1 of the younger hosta addicts, or whatever you want to call it and have been collecting for years so I can only imagion 20 years from now. Hybridizing for now 7 years and still haven't grown what I'd call the perfect hosta seedling or close to it (and not willing to register an...

very impressive
