I've been tempted to start a hosta nursery, but I think there are so many varieties, it's a pretty daunting task to get off the ground. And, there are so many good nurseries already out there. Great excuse to go on a major spending spree though eh? tee hee.

I have June - she is lovely ! Have used bowdens before and rate them highly ( have i said that before

I've got to work to-day and I thought I'd just have a quick look. Hosta chat returns, wey hey!!
The nursery with the biggest catalogue I've ever seen is Fransen Hostas www.hostapardise.com. They're in Holland , but they mail order.
June is a great variety which bulks up really quickly. Titanic and Blue Hawaii look stunning but I really need to curb my enthusiasm.
