Hostas are a garden staple! They add a tropical and fresh look to the shade, 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 from plants of medium size. Colours will vary and include shades of green, gold/yellow, and blue. The foliage surface can be corrugated, seersuckered, or smooth. Note Hostas generally do not retain and variegation from seeds, so the plants will mainly have solid coloured foliage.

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.
