Sebright Gardens?
Comments (3)I can strongly recomend Seabright. I first ordered from them in 2008. Kirk is really helpful and friendly to deal with. For anyone from Canada thinking to order from them, the certificate fee they charge to get the plants across the border is half or less than most other places I've checked. I like that they have some of the older varities that other nurseries have quite carrying. They also have the new ones but they are very generous with the older ones. Below are some picitures of the sizes that arrived for my first order. Glory was amazing at 13 eyes. I have taken a division off of it to share already....See MoreGiving Sebright Gardens a Try...
Comments (15)You mean moi? Esther, I have both Dixie Chick and Dixie Chickadee on order. From LOTG and Green Mountain respectively. Both originated with the joker of the hosta deck, Tony Avent. Incidentally, Don, I got a call a short while ago which propelled me out of bed and to my computer. It was from Sebright Gardens, no less! I am so gladd that Kirk Hansen called, because I THOUGHT I had ordered these plants, but apparently only left a dazed phone message about wanting to do an order. Anyway, plowing through the primordial soup of my brain, I sorted in the HostaFinder to the spot where I'd written down my proposed order a week ago. Of course I thought of two others which I hoped perchance they'd have even though not listed in the catalog, and oh yea, there they were. So here is MY order, safely tucked into the DONE folder, soon to be added to ACQUISITIONS. Dee's Golden Jewel Daisy Doolittle (a small listed as F by DonR) Margie's Angel On The Edge Sweet Thing (F sport of SoSweet--pencil thin cream margin) Seventh Heaven (F ) Wyle Green Cream I was pleased to chat for a few minutes about their plants and shipping policy. Kirk said they usually ship in May, their plants are mature, they like them to be hardened off so they can endure the journey. How and when they ship is up to them, of course, and I'll be happy to see them. Especially am I looking forward to Seventh Heaven. You know it is a cross of 'Kevin Vaughan' x plantaginea, and it is a fertile breeder? You'll know it as the sporty mama of Diana Remembered. I am so looking forward to a fragrant hosta that gives up its fertility and doesn't sit there like a virgin queen! And when I talked to Kirk, I thought his accent was just like Gary's over at Naylor....not that far away geographically, you know. Totally different nurseries though, from the Naylor well grown out TCs to the mature plants of Sebright. We'll have something to chat about, Don-me-boyo, when the orders arrive! But at least fate stepped in to make sure I did place my order. Jolly well that it did.Or I would not have Seventh Heaven!...See MoreHosta Road Trip....
Comments (6)Very beautiful! And do the peacock eat hostas?? (As my cat preferes new hostas and daylilies and rare grasses ,such as Imperata Red Baron, though there is enough grass in my garden)...See MoreTrip to Fox Hosta Farm
Comments (33)It is Lowell IN and it is pretty easy to get there. I was there yesterday and came home with some real beauties. Highly recommend if you in the area, not only because his prices reasonable and variety great. I told Bob he would get much more if he was selling on line. You see real size and how it is growing in shade and you will get whatever chunk you want. Additionally Bob sells his own seedlings and some of them are monsters.
