TISSUE CULTURE HOSTA INFORMATION

Propagation on hostas is performed in a tissue culture lab to ensure you of quality. The tissue culture process brings you many of the newer and the higher demand varieties that are many times hard to find. Tissue culture also provides a very clean and uniform stock. New varieties are tested for viruses before brought into the lab to ensure a disease free process. Then grown in trays for one to three years. And then planted outdoors for one or more growing seasons before it is ready to sell. They are grown in extremely rich, loose, black soil (drained swamp land) which drastically increases the root growth and produces nice healthy white roots. Tissue culture plants may come with only one eye, but I assure you it will be a nice size starter plant which will be large enough to enjoy the first season.

DIVISION HOSTAS INFORMATION

My division hosta plants are divided from my large hosta plants. Usually divided from mature plants with long, large roots. And usually I am very generous sending very nice size plants! But this can vary, depending on the plant and the season.

Mid size and small hostas will have all leaves. Carefully packaged in a greenhouse atmosphere to assure a very healthy safe arrival of plants. I take extreme pride with selling hostas and very much enjoy growing hostas.
