Really cool that you got them to grow so fast. Have you ever tried winter sowing them? Or autumn sowing them outside/or in a coldframe or greenhouse? Or do you know from other people if it usually works? I have no space inside and the only way for me is to cold sow my plants outside, and I intend to try out hosta.😊🌱
Of course outdoor so 0:22 wing works, because that is how nature does it. But I do this as an indoor activity to keep me busy in winter. It also gives you much better protection if you are growing special hosta seeds.
If you are breeding for variegated hostas, then you do not want green ones. You may have a breeding program targeted toward green hostas, so then they are OK.
Enjoyed video found it interesting and informative. I wouldve saved the non streaked seeds tho after pulling out wouldve just poted them in another container those ones tho as just plants i could trade with other gardeners..🌱
I absolutely love what you have created! So many great ideas that I will be trying out right away for some of my challenging areas. May I ask how you what products you use to keep the slugs, bunnies and deer at bay?
That depends significantly on where you live, how much water you can give them, and whether you can tolerate what they might look like at the end of August. Start with a fragrant hosta and see how they look.
Iol i thought same thing but he did state he was looking for ones that had specific look, myself i wouldve potted up all seeds even if the seedling wasnt looking for specific look and traded the greens ones with other gardeners..
You have created absolutely beautiful shade gardens! I’ve enjoyed this video tour so much, I must have replayed it dozens of times. I do hope you will do another video garden tour this summer! I am a shade gardener as well and enjoy the peaceful, lush foliage you can get in the shade. It’s easy on the eye and is my serenity. Wishing you the best with your seedlings. Maybe someday they will be available for sale. Happy gardening! 😊 🌱☀️
In video #3 you had 100% plantaginea babies and plantaginea baby crosses, I assume by open pollination. Did you pollinate the plantaginea yourself with other plantaginea? How do you get them 100% plantaginea? Really enjoyed your videos by the way! Thank you!
If you make a cross with a fragrant hosta, it seems to be a coin, flip whether the seedlings become fragrant. That is my experience. If they are self pollinated, your chances would be higher.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Where did you learn about hostas? I was wishing you would go into more info;). I nerd out on this stuff. I harvested some seeds from a hosta I have. Not sure of the species. From what you said, is it even possible to absolutely KNOW the species?
Im a newer seed growing gardener and would be so excited to grow some hostas. I have 2 in my garden, but i havent seen them flower. Is there any chance you could spare a few so i may join in? I would be so greatful, and understanding if you aren't able to as well. I hope to see more of your videos, you're a great instructor, i appreciate you being so detailed too. Thank you so much for making the videa, hope to hear back 🌞
So I took some seeds from my daughter's huge hosta plants when the seeds pods turn brown and open. How do it know if the actual seeds are good or bad? do you water them as a seed? How long does it take to see a stem sprout 🌱
David, very interesting video turned out. May I use your video? I want to post some moments from the video, having translated into Ukrainian. My name is Vika, I'm from Ukraine. I'll give you a link in the description as the author of the video.
