Hosta

          We are a mailorder nursery specializing in the growing and selling of Hostas, and do not have provisions for on site sales. The Hosta Patch was established in 1989 out of a passion for this distinct and colorful group of plants. We sell over 500 varieties, as you will see from our list.
          Hostas are among the most diverse group of plants for the shady garden. They range in sizes from a mere 2 inches high, to over 3 feet high, and 6 inches wide to over 6 feet wide. The leaves come in a range of sizes and shapes as well. There are lance shaped leaves, heart shaped leaves, and leaves that are nearly round. Some leaves are smooth and shiny. Some are very corrugated. Others are cupped, or turn up along the edges, and still others have undulating or wavy margins. They are hardy in USDA zones 3-9.
