We were on a trip to N.C. several years ago and I collected Hosta seeds from the camper park. I came home and planted them, and now have hostas as a result. They have all be just plain green ones, but they are probably the strongest performers in my garden, and they take the sun pretty well, but will burn quickly in direct sun. Now the plants I grew from seeds are once again loaded with pods. So I will get hundreds of seeds again this year if nothing interferes with them before harvest time. I have very good luck germinating them, no problem there. But, they are very slow (for me) to grow, and so many things can go wrong with little seedlings that by the time they are a decent transplant size most of them have met their demise in one way or another. I should try to keep them inside I guess, but I have been just letting them fend for themselves in the garden (well with protection ) but not as safe and secure as being inside.
Just went out and snapped a few photos. I got a close up of one of the stems to show that some of the seed pods are missing. I blame the squirrels, but I have never actually seen them stealing them.(Sorry didn't realize how out of focus that was) but you can still see it looks like a daylily scape where the buds were.
