I am so happy, that these 3 Babys survived. What do you think, when will they become as big as there parents? How many years does that take?

Hi Mel,

They are looking cute :)

It will likely take a couple summers before they are really getting bigger, but since hostas don't come true from seed they won't ever look exactly like the parents. I'm sure you will see a family resemblance though :)

Personally I haven't made any crosses here this year, though now that it is raining regularly I am really thinking about a few, and seeing these seedlings makes me think about it some more.

Thanks for sharing!

Chris
