How exciting! It's going to be a while before we get to do any hosta planting here in zone 5 yet, but we can at least enjoy your fun vicariously. :)

oooh, that's awesome! My first orders aren't due for about 5 weeks!

I ordered most of mine to be shipped the 2nd week of April. I'm not waiting very patiently!

Not patient either.. LOL, the best part of getting my order from Hallsons last year was wondering what bonus hosta he was going to include, I got Alex Summers.

Too embarassed to say how many new hostas I've bought in last two days.

Here's my favorite one, Blue Hawaii. This is a 2 gallon put and the leaves are about 10 inches high.(First try at posting pictures.)

Oh, wow...'Blue Hawaii' looks really cool when it's unfurling.

I got Blue Hawaii this spring also! It isn't up quite as much as that, but has multiple eyes and is coming up nicely. I got mine bare root at the beginning of the potting season and put it right in the ground. It looks from your picture like it is going to be really good!

Alex Summers as a freebie would be awesome. Your Blue Hawaii looks like it has a ton of eyes. Did you get it mail order? If so, from whom?

Yes, Chris Alex Summers as a freebie was awesome! We bought Blue Hawaii from Romence Gardens in Portage, Michigan. It's about 60 miles from our home, we drove down on Saturday and came home with a car full. They had rows of hostas that they brought out of dormancy early for Michigan State University's School of Agriculture.
