If any one is interested in buying any of these, let me know and I will reserve it for you.

Some are in limited quantities, while others I have more than six. A few I have 12.

I charge $7 or $9 for these in my annual potted hosta sale.

Hi Gerry,

What sizes are you talking about on the hosta? You have a very long list of lovely varieties. Also, what about shipping costs on these? Thanks for any extra info.

Gerry - Which Hosta do well in a pot/container and can handle the heat of FL in the summer? Any of them?

I love the look of Hostas, but don't know if they even do well here in central FL zone 9.

Good morning,

Hostas need a dormancy of at least 30 days with a temperature of under 40°.

If you have space in a refrigerator, select pots that will fit and grow your hosta in pots.
There are people in your zone that do this.

Smaller hostas are perfect for this life style. I recommend Fire Island, Curley Fries, Woodland Elf, Indigo, Appletini, and Saketini. Individually each would have its own 4" clay pot. Grouping them would produce a beautiful display. Six to 8" pots would accommodate up to five plants. Groupings are more appealing in odd numbers.

These hostas are not plugs. They are division that were made last summer or before.
Depending on the cultivar, these will have more than one crown.

Postage will be actual, and I will trim leaves, and wash roots to cut back on weight. I will use flat rate boxes on multiple orders.

Melinda,

These will be shipped mid to late May, and I will bill you two weeks before shipment. Shipping will take place when payment is received. A money order is fine.

Send me a tree mail with your order.

Thanks,

Gerry
