| I would just like to know if you could give me an idea of how many different kinds of hostas there are? Also, is there a reference place I could go to for a list? Thank You. |
| At last count there were over 5000 cultivars so unless you have a huge garden, you'll just have to choose your favorites! Here are a few reference books (check Amazon.com or your favorite book store). The Genus Hosta: Giboshi Zoku ISBN: 0881922013 The Hosta Book ISBN: 0881922609 The Gardener's Guide to Growing Hostas ISBN: 0881923559 This is Gardening: Hostas ISBN: 097056161X The Hosta Handbook ISBN: 0967944007 Hostas (Foliage Plants in Garden Design) by Sandra Bond There's also an American Hosta Society (www.hosta.org) with tons of information on their website. Best wishes with your hostas! |
