The Big Move
In 2003 we moved our nursery from Maryland to Virginia.  It seems funnier now than it did then.

Ordering Information

We grow our hostas in two sizes.

Generally, our standard  size plants are grown in 4½" pots, though small varieties are often grown in 3" or 3½" pots.  Our HalfPint hostas are simply smaller than our standard size plants. They are generally single-eye plants, They are less expensive because they take us less time to grow. If you are willing to do some of the growing yourself, you can save quite a bit compared to our standard size.


Hosta 'Orange Marmalade' PP16742

The picture shows a HalfPint of 'Orange Marmalade', taken in June. Obviously, different plants grow at different rates, and the number of eyes and pot size varies in both sizes. The only constant is that the plants listed as Pint-Size are smaller than our standard plants, even if the pot size and number of eyes is the same. In general, HalfPint Hostas purchased now will be about the same size as our regular plants  the following spring.   

These plants are not difficult to grow, all you need to do is keep them watered and follow the growing advice on our site.  Quantities are limited on some varieties, but we are adding new ones all the time, especially in the spring when we divide many of our stock plants.
