Question

I'm populating new garden beds, and will be for the next few years. A friend gave me some hosta seeds. I've only transplanted hostas. Has anyone tried them from seed before? Research seems to indicate they are tough to germinate. I was thinking of just free-sowing them, maybe even now? Spring? Looking for any tips and advice. Central ohio zone 5/6.

Answer 1

Hosta need a vernal period to germinate, sow them in fall, keep them in tray outside, bring them in spring time and force.

Answer 2

good luck!

Answer 3

Snails like eat hosta leaves . Grind up egg shells to put around all your Hosta plants .

Answer 4

I would free sow some this fall, that is the time when they would normally hit the ground. save some back and try your luck indoors. I just did a huge free sowing of fennel for the butterflies next year. Our growing seasons are quite different but good luck,
