What a great thread! Thanks to all of your for sharing your thoughts and information.
I love propagating but have only divided hostas...guess I better get on with starting from seed.
Jeff, I guess growing from seed is one great way to begat a "new" variety, eh? (Except with H. ventricosa.)
I was about to order rooted/divided plugs for next years mkt sales...so many to choose from. Now I guess I should wander about my flower beds and see if I have any hosta seeds to play with.
