Beautiful Bare Roots!

11 years ago

My Hallson Gardens order arrived this morning. They shipped it on Tues and it came on Thurs...all the way from MI to CA, Priority Mail. I have barely spread out the roots in the photo, but they all fit nicely in 1 gal cans w/o much room to spare. All dormant, but ready to pop. My bonus hosta this time was Prairie Moon. I'm especially happy with that one because it is dormant and I will get to see its bright yellow leaves when it emerges. Some hostas really do show their stuff early in the growing cycle.

Not in the order pictured, (as they all look the same right now)... Gemstone, Ivory Necklace, June Spirit Pocketful of Sunshine, Curly Fries, Irish Luck and Luna Moth and Prairie Moon.

Looks fantastic! They sure won't be dormant a week from now! My order was also delivered yesterday. This is the second year I've ordered from Hallson. You always get your money's worth from them. I am out of town until Saturday but looking forward to getting home and playing in the dirt.

Enjoy - as they emerge. Several eyes on most. Rapid delivery as well. No doubt you're happy!

Looks like a great group, Hallson's always sends nice specimens.

Nice selection, Babka. It's good for me to see what a Hallson's order looks like.

What you cannot see in the pic are the number of eyes. They vary from plant to plant. Gemstone 5, Ivory Necklace 8, June Spirit 2, Pocketful of Sunshine 1 large eye, Curly Fries 6, Irish Luck 3, Luna Moth 7, and Prairie Moon 3.

When I click on the pic, I can sure see those nice fat eyes and nice roots. Nice bonus hosta, too. Happy dancing for you. :)

They are sure going to be a beautiful plant with all the shoots and the root system is huge Bakka, What an exciting time of the year to see the ones showing in the garden plus the newly purchased ones. Just like a spring birthday gift every year. Keep the growth pictures coming. Ivory Necklace is one of my special hosta that grows like mad

Yes, Almosthooked. I got Ivory Necklace as a bonus back in 2008 and it quickly became very distinguishable from all the rest with its puckers and long leaves. One year it had a streaked eye. Then it rotted in 2013. This year I decided that it was different enough from all the rest for me to remember it well and I had to order another one. Hosta love.

I can write off the finicky ones, but this one did so well before it kerplopped.

I made it back home and my order was waiting on me. Hallson plants are always impressive.

And as a bonus it started raining just as I potted up the last one.
