So, here's my question of the morning. If I ask a nursery if they use neonicitinoids on their plants, will they know what I am asking? In other words, is that a generic or a name for an ingredient in products better known by their brand names?

I can (and probably will) research this but thought if someone here knows some trade names or what have you, that might save me some steps.

I did ask our local friendly garden center, and they told me where they get their plants from, and seemed confident there was no such substance used but I have not pursued this further. They do things as naturally as they can, and there are bees on their plants which is a good sign.

But my cousin is wanting to call a place she has bought hostas from, and wants to get more, and we don't quite know what to ask.
