Plantain Hosta
Think that's how it's spelled. I am looking for Plantain Hosta. It is not
bothered by sunlight. Anyone know where I can buy it? Thanx Pixi |

Plantain Hosta
Hosta plantaginea
It is readily available at nurseries. You can even buy it from almost every Home Depot, Lowes, etc. as a potted plant or packed in a paper container. Variegated cultivars are for more popular.

Plantain Hosta
Guess this was an idiot question. Seems that most hostas are plantain
lilies or hostas. What I am after are hostas that will tolerate full sun. Thanks. "Cereus-validus" wrote in message . .. Hosta plantaginea It is readily available at nurseries.

Thanx Pixi Pretty much any hostas can tolerate sun provided they are given the correct conditions. But it depends a lot on where you are located and your soil conditions. In general, hostas with a lot of gold variegation or solid yellow foliage will tolerate sun better than those with lots of white variegation or with blue leaves. Also, very small leaved hostas regardlesss of foliage coloring are more sun tolerant. All will need considerably more attention to watering than those planted in the shade. pam - gardengal |

Gee, thanks. Sure glad to know you are there to keep folks on the straight
and narrow. I'm trying to landscape an area around a pond and want to use mostly ornamental grass, hosta and fern with a few shrubs in the background. Thanks for the website.

Since I have to go over 50 miles just to buy a dress (except for Walmart) I
don't think we have many hosta societies in the area. But thanks for the suggestion and the website. Pixi "Jim Elbrecht" wrote in message ...
