    Loana, a nursery owner friend of mine is growing more of those mini hostas. 

    " it takes less time to get them to a salable size, and folk pay the same as for a big one"

    Check this out. I've met this guy many times.

    I have a large container rammed full of Agapanthus Sky Rocket which stays out on the terrace over winter here in Norfolk.  I wrap the pots in bubblewrap to potect the terracotta but the plants seem fine.  As you'll see from this old thread on the same subject, I've had them for several years now.

    Thank you Hostafan, i'll have a look at the clip.

    dovefromabov, so you are in Norfolk too, like me. I think we are lucky with our climate, usually quite good :)

    Certainly not as wet here as in Hosta's garden image

    I have one in the ground and 2 in the soil. I do nothing protectionwise, and they come up better than the year before. Depending on where you ar econditions and protection will vary.
