In addition to making great groundcovers in shady areas and excellent foundation plantings along sunless northern foundations, some hostas are large enough and showy enough to use as specimen plants. This hosta produces large rounded-heart shaped leaves with an attractive puckered surface, in a soft blue green hue. Early summer brings trumpet shaped blossoms, in white with a kiss of lavender, that attract hummingbirds and may be used as cut flowers. Happiest in partial to full shade.

Growing hosta seed is a simple procedure. Hosta seed sprout nicely indoors, under normal house conditions, with temperatures running 60° to 70°F. Hosta seed germinates in 14 to 21 days. This is mainly dependent on temperature and moisture. Hosta seed does not require light to assist sprouting; therefore, you can place your flats in a warm, dark area of your house.
