Hi I am so jealous, I have sown some hosta seeds and am eagerly awaiting some progress. I have never grown from seed before, and as I don't actually have anywhere to put them yet( beds are still works in progress). I thought I would make use of the time and see how I got on. Have planted 5seeds each of 4different varieties. Have I been too optimistic or should I have planted more?
Thank you for your comments, they are nice, I have to admit that after literally drowning them in strong garlic water, it made no difference, i do use slug pellets under them.
The blue one has leaves bigger than my outstretched hand.

Great Hostas in all the photos. Hostafan - you are really in hosta heaven there. It's fabulous. I have a couple including the one in this photo which is in the shade, but I don't know what it's called. When I bought it a few years ago it was only labelled 'Hosta'! Do you know which it is? Many thanks.
Yarrow, I am indeed in hosta heaven, but I've never claimed to be Hosta Guru. I'd love to be able to name yours, but I can't.I wish I could though. Sorry. xx

These were divided 2 years ago, I did it in the autumn.
Ooh, they're lovely Lyn. I love the ones with white on; so attractive.

CharleyD , I didn't want to hog your thread, so I started another.
