    Lots of sites on the internet, bear in mind that 100 will only go in a small space, I put mine in and they got lost, there are some reputable firms that sell 1000 with a discount.

    Ouch, didn't think of that! I had a quick look on one or 2 websites, and they were selling them in 25s & 75s. I was thinking of growing them from seed, but I think that might be a bit tricky.

    Denno, be careful what you wish for. I've had clients in the past and we had to dig them out by the wheelbarrow load every year. If they're happy, they go mental

I bought "teeny weeny bikini" from sue proctor at a show last year verdun, (think it was tatton) it has far outperformed hostas bought at the same time from another company! Wud definately recommend! Wud this be a gud time to admit I bought it coz I loved the name.............. imageI????? Wat a sucker for advertising i am!!!

    Claire. I'm sure we've all  bought stuff because of the name.

    I took my daugther to a nursery one day with a decent Hosta section. She said

    " I think you should have this one; it's got your name written all over it"

    What's it called, I asked 

    " Great Queen" she said
