Hi Josh
How long have you been growing your large variety of hosta?
The larger can take 3-5 years to reach their full potential size. Every year they will grow larger.

Three years my wife got them at a local nursrey she belives that if you mail order them they won't grow as well because of the differnt enviorment. I think they won't get that big because they're a smaller variety but I wan the huge one's. they are dark green with white edges about 24 inche tall the colony that are growing are produceing 3 to 4 flower stalk's and are blooming right now

Actually, in 3 years most of them will just be leaving 'baby' stage.... Wait 8 - 10 - 12 years and then just see what they look like!!!!

It also depends on the varieties you have. Do you know the names of them? If you want a really, really large blue, you'll want Blue Angel, Blue Mammoth, or Elegans, just to name a few. My Elegans was almost 80" across this year and it's still not mature.

I don't the name my wife got them.

If it is BIG, REALLY REALLY BIG that you want - check out AMOS on this auction.

Here is a link that might be useful: Amos

lol - I keep going back to look at that Amos. That one may need a new category - below giant size.

Empress Wu is even bigger than Amos and will probably be in the $20 - $25 range next year. Naylor had it this year - but others may have it next. Be prepared to wait 5 years to see any noticible size though. Hard to imagine and even harder to wait. Don't make the mistake I did - just did not listen to the advice on the forum. Placed way too many hostas close together in my beds so it would look full. I have 20 hostas in spaces that should have three or four. Thought I would move them this year before they leafed out. Oops - did not work out that way. Broke my shoulder and had multiple breaks in my left arm. Try moving big hostas when half of your body is in a brace.

This is a great place to learn and get advice. Listen and follow directions..... I know I wish I had! lol
