Hosta Mini or Smalls 2022 ...............
Your killing me Smalls. For me in Florida the minis and smalls are for me. Right now my hosta pots are outside but will be in a shade greenhouse when it really gets hot. Not sure when that will be it was 80 yesterday. I will be cramped for room so I will need to see what I will need to order this year. Show me your minis and smalls.
Have a great day everyone! I am off to spuddle.

Comments (3)Hi Marchela, I know you said the post is closed, but I just thought I'd check, I would love to trade for silver threads and golden needles.

Comments (10)ken is right most aren't good growers or all that fertile. like the mouse turds, vigorous mutations usually don't set alot of seed. if i liked minis i would start with small streakers and add venusta pollen, and maybe tiaras. then select for the most vigorous and fertile babies to grow on into the next generation....See MoreHosta V 2022 .........................
Comments (19)deb other hosta can have a somewhat bell shape; and then there are hybrids that can mix it all up with different shapes and colors. But alot of times you can get a tell on which hosta was the dominate species contributor based on the flower shape. island breeze has alot of longipes in it. longipes has quite alot of variety in the species. longipes is used mostly to pass on red pets, scapes, and sometimes in the tubes of the flowers. this seedling has some ventricosa in it, thus the flower shape, but longipes from first blush dominates the color of the pets, scapes and flower. this heartache seedling has ventricosa in it too. but crossed with war and peace ventricosa still won out. ..its not the same as the original species, but the character of it is recoginizable as ventricosa dominated....See Moreperen.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada

3 months agoPaula - I'm with ya on that spuddle (ing). Been doing that for almost 10 years since I retired.
I've got several smalls that shouldn't be. I'm still doing the brain work on a bed or area dedicated to minis (another spuddle project).

see 2 Blue Mouse Ears to the right of Venusta and Tiny Tears?..screenshot from the hosta library of Tiny Tears..if mine would grow maybe I could tell..
thanks for asking..DH is doing very well..I worked outside today for 3 hours..🙂
