Today I received my first order from Green Mountain Hostas and they are so so lovely! Serious root divisions and beautiful foliage. I bought Dark Shadows, Gemini Moon, Ultramarine, Salute, Flemish Sy, Crested Surf, Lucy Vitols, Niagara Falls, Marilyn Monroe, Goober, Lemontini, Friends, Teaspoon, and Key Lime Pie. Dark Shadows was a particularly impressive specimen.

Comments (2)I sure looks like a lot of fun. I'll have to set up a temporary potting table when I get home to stay, maybe in a week or so. I wish you could send some of your rain my way ("3rd day of rain, about 3 inches each day"). My weather report is more like "3rd week with little rain, about 0 inches each day". But then, where you are if you need a little extra water all you have to do is wring some out of a handful of air. Is having circulation of air around your potted hostas criticle? Green Mountain is a truly impressive source for hostaholics. Are you putting Climax,Afterglow and Seducer in any particular order? (You didn't expect me to pass up such a direct invitation, did you?:) And just where are you planning to place Unforgettable much less Zippety Doo Da and Tiny Tears, honeybells?

Comments (6)GW is some great plants at even better prices. I have ordered from them for the past 2 years. Last fall I ordered and they were not totally dormant yet. They grew and I had to almost put some down myself in December. The last ones out this year was the GM order. They performed like champs but just came back last and compared to the spring order I think I set them back a little with the warm temps here. This year with the tree removal and soon re-roofing I have not ordered this fall. I have considered just ordering in the spring and let the growers keep them cool one more time. Bk, I would keep them cool and dark so the new eyes will not get confused. Sometimes I wish I had a root cellar for such times. Maybe a dark spot in the garage. Good luck GM has some great plants.

Comments (11)Popmama, like Dick, I too have found end of season sales at grocery stores. That is how I came to own my 'June' and 'Golden Tiara' - each under $7 late in the season back in 2009. I actually think I forgot to pick up what sent me to the store in the first place, lol....the hostas were at the outside entrance of the store and the first thing I saw! Too excited about the find and the price! Keep your eyes open, Popmama for you never know what you can find in grocery stores ;-)....See More
