First Time Ordering from Green Mountain Hosta (mini haul)

Hi there. First time poster, I've been admiring everyone's photos this winter. I have been dabbling in hostas the past few years but really caught the bug last year and wanted to grow my collection a lot this year. This is my first time ordering from Green Mountain and I have been adding here and there to my order. I can't wait to get them. :)


Cherry Tart - XS

Heart and Soul - XS

Hush Puppie - XS


Allegan Fog - SM

One Man's Treasure - SM

Remember Me - SM

Teaspoon - SM


Candy Hearts - MD

Midas Touch - MD

Rippled Treasure - MD

Risky Business - MD

Saint Elmo's Fire - MD


Mount Tom - LG


Regal Splendor - GIANT

Sagae - GIANT


Super excited about the giants. The only giant I have is Empress Wu, which I planted back in 2015.


I also have already picked up a few from my locally family owned greenhouse: Raspberry Sundae, Neptune, Gypsy Rose, and First Frost.


Anyways, can't wait to get them and hopefully can share some photos this summer! :)

    I've ordered from them a few times. I like that place.

    Welcome windyhosta! Great to have you join in, very nice order.

    Welcome! You've got a great list of plants. I've had Sagae for many years. It's a true giant. It will be great to see your photos--it's fun to compare what different plants do in different zones, etc.

    steve duggins---Those are some fine looking roots. How will you know which ones are what?

    I put the tags next to the roots outside the box.

    Look just like mine! Glad you snapped a photo of how great the roots are. Mine are planted with tags tucked in until I get proper labels. So happy with my first time ordering from them!

    You won't be disappointed. I bought 3 Frosted Jade and 10 Lakeside Cha Chas and the package weighed 15 pounds and each one was huge and perfect.

    Good that you ordered three years ago. I ordered in spring 2020 and of course, they were short-staffed due to the pandemic. I was promised my plants late in 2020 or spring 2021. Guess what, it's July 2021 and they still keep saying 'in a few weeks". I would never recommend this place.

    Oh, wow. That's too bad. It's been a few years since I purchased from them, but their hosta were really nice and they were prompt. So many of the growers (and other small businesses) have gone out of business. I'm hoping the pandemic doesn't put them out, too.

    I had ordered from them a few years back with no problems. However, I am now also waiting on my spring 2020 order. Excuse after excuse. Automated email response followed by ”personal” excuse form email. If this order ever arrives it will be the last. Thankfully it wasn’t a huge order.

    I can't imagine being that far behind. There have to be other issues.

    Do not order from this Company . Paid for $263.00 of Hostas in May of 2020 and still not have received order 1.5 years later. Mutliple excuses and admissions from them that there are staffing issues, day care issues, illness issues. Have asked for an immediate refund to my credit card and their response was that I was harassing them. You are taking a huge risk with your hard earned money and time with this company.

    I am still awaiting a Naylor order of $125. Ordered Feb of this year. Excuses, poor staffing, hear dome prevented shipping (which I understand) but I was promised delivery the next week following this conversation. That was three weeks ago. I think I will be asking for a refund at this point.

    Glad you two got your orders and they look so healthy!
