All Bare Root Hostas are container grown and shipped undivided from the nursery in Chapel Hill, NC.

Our Bare Root Hostas have been grown out to fill a one quart or larger pot and are ready to be lined out in the field or moved directly into a one gallon or larger container. These will not be divided. Our heavily rooted hostas are often ready to sell in a month after potting. You can order them in multiples of ten. They can be shipped dormant in early spring or any time throughout the growing season. Hostas shipped north in the spring will have the advantage of having as much as an extra month’s growth over locally grown plants because of our longer growing season.

2 ¼” Hosta Super Liners ^TM

In addition, this year we are offering the following Hosta Super Liners ^TM in 2 ¼ inch pots, 25 per flat for spring availability. These are some of our newest hostas and by offering them as Hosta Super Liners^TM we can get them in your hands as much as a year earlier than our Bare Root Hostas. Hosta Super Liners^TM can be potted directly into a one gallon container and should make a salable plant in one growing season. All Hosta Super Liners^TM will be shipped from the nursery here in Chapel Hill, NC, to insure quality and availability. Look for more listings next year!
