when the bottom most pods starts to yellow or brown ... break it open.. and see if there are viable seeds .. run them thru your fingers.. you should feel the seed kernel ....

some hosta are sterile.. so it would be nice to start with an ID of your plant ...

June, S&S and Elegans are the ones with the most seed pods. I read all the time people find them in the garden. I've never seen them in my gardens.

For what it's worth, I saw my first seedling last year and another one this year, but I don't get a lot of them like some people do. And it took a lot of years for me to get that first one.

i though SS was rather scarce with viable seeds??? ken

I'm hoping i can get some seedlings to help fill an area in the back of my yard. I'll check for viable seeds. Do you put them in pots and let them be if I find them?
