How to grow new hostas from seed.
Part 1 described the harvest and cleaning of hosta seeds.
I have grown hostas for about 30 years and have been growing my own hybrids for about 10 years. I am a member of the American Hosta Society and the Delaware Valley Hosta Society, and have learned from the pros.

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..🌱

Thank you for sharing this so much David, I always wondered what would happen if I was to plant seeds so this was so educational for me! Tiny baby hostas look so exciting and i would have hard time to discard any lol.

It takes a good deal of discipline to throw out all but the best seedlings. Even then you know you will make some mistakes by missing a seedling's potential, and/or keep too many!

Awesome job, well done and so professional!

@pollyrichardson1812 2 года назад

Awesome step x step (with side notes ❤).

@davidteager 2 года назад

Glad you liked it! If I said all those side notes, it would be twice as long.

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 🌞

I’m having trouble finding captan like shown. I found some on Amazon that has copper in it, is that ok?

@Angie-ci1lp Год назад

Than you for sharing ❤️🙏🏽❤️

@reneebrown8991 Год назад

Awesome….Can you link the captan?

@SarahMacNeil-mc8cs 9 месяцев назад

Would a fragrant bloom hosta produce fragrant seedling. These bloom much later than any others so im assuming they are self polinated.

@davidteager 7 месяцев назад

There is a good possibility, but it is never certain that seed from a fragrant hosta will produce a fragrant plant.

Great video. How long did you leave in the freezer and how long did you leave to defrost.

@davidteager 9 месяцев назад

in the freezer until I plant them (no minimum time) they defrost immediately

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I´d love to see an update on these seedlings next summer! I din´t fully understand the part about unstable streaky plants. Does that mean that for example Francee and Patriot would be useless in this instance?

@davidteager Год назад

That's correct. Hostas with stable variegation produce plain (single-color) plants. Even some hostas where every leaf is different (like 'Rainbow's End') aren't actually unstable/streaky, and produce only plain plants. It takes some training to know the difference.

@@davidteager Thank you!

@Nitemagick 5 месяцев назад

Great video, thank you. I have many hostas in my garden but never started them from seed. I bought some seeds on line that are purple and blue. Reviews were not good but I thought they might not patient. Now. Are you saying I probably will not have colorful hostas?😢

@comeonscott Год назад

What kind of light do you use? Shop light?Also leave light on 24 hours a day or what?

@davidteager Год назад

I use shoplights, and hope to replace all of mine with the newer LED tubes. Most people use lights on timers (18 hours on), but others leave them on continuously.

@intuitlife 2 года назад

Great I harvested seed from nearby All were the same

@intuitlife 2 года назад

Cull option here is give them away . many people would jump on it

@broodovermind 2 года назад

Do you ever select for most edible variety? Or purely esthetic?

@davidteager 2 года назад

I’m not interested in eating them. The breeding would be for tall, early-emerging hostas.

@ritahaley8653 6 месяцев назад

Why do you not want green hostas

@nattyw495 3 месяца назад

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..
