Hello Everyone!
I am relatively new to all this...lol
I have large number of extra seeds from my Empress Wu, Inniswood, Blessingham Blue, Coast to Coast, Abiqua Drinking Gourd which are available for purchase. $10 per pkg. includes shipping (for Canadians) for 30+ seeds. All seeds are dewinged.

They are all labelled with the name of the pod parent. Hosta seeds do not come true to the parent and may be plain ordinary green plants regardless of parentage, but they are likely to show some characteristics of the parent in regard to colour, size, petiole colour, or leaf shape.

Empress Wu Hosta is known for being one of the largest hostas, with leaves that can grow up to 18 inches wide and 24 inches long. Huge, thick, dark green, deeply veined leaves form a massive upright mound. Pale reddish violet flowers.

Inniswood Hosta has rounded green-gold leaves with a 1/2" dark green margin are slightly cupped; a plant with very good substance and near white flowers.

Blessingham Blue Hosta is an impressive hosta with jumbo leaves that measure 15" long and 10 to 12" across. The foliage is teal green with a dusky, powder-blue finish.

Coast To Coast Hosta produces golden yellow puckered leaves. It has a pale purple flower that blooms mid-summer.

Abiqua Drinking Gourd, 2014 Hosta of the Year. Blue-green, thick, deeply-cupped leaves with heavy corrugation. Near-white flowers late June.

Shipping from British Columbia.

You are way ahead of me as I've not had time to de-wing mine. But when I do, I'll share for the cost of a SASE. Also in Canada. I still have this seed-collecting habit, but I'm getting too old to be starting many seeds, considering they take 5 or more years to fully mature.
