Anyone on here plant Hosta seeds and have them succeed? I planted some a year ago, they are only 2 inches high............. Must be Phoneys...... Like your opinions.
I have hosta plants, pretty big ones, I just divide them up and replant them around the yard. never tried growing any from seed though.
I have clumps of curly green/white hosta I am trying to start the Hosta seeds that get really huge........... The ones i have , plants are green and white an curly , which I divide often......Right now some of mine are in bloom again..............They get ugly after spring quits......... Right now my Helleborous are blooming.......Are yours?
I've grown Hosta from seed before Barb. They are very slow growing at first so you have to be patient! It took a good 4 years before they were a nice size.
4 years..........................4 years 4 years I will be in Tears......... Good news is, I have one under my belt.......That is odd........ Bet they are pretty back your way.
I never let my hostas go to seed due to the short summer and the uncertainty of what I'll get. I've got lots of hostas, and not all types will come true from seed. Besides that, I'm a bad sower. Hellebores here will start in spring. I'm looking forward to seeing them.
helleboros Mine are still out .I purchased them in the spring and they been in bloom all summer??? Guess they dont die like others /
Helleborous .......Helleborus ..........Helleborous You get a star for likeing Helleborous. I had only 4 seeds........I sent them away. Want me to keep you in mind if there is ever more? Just quit blooming an I didnt know it had seeds. Just 4.
Don't worry about the seeds, bsewnsew, just post some photos or find out their name so I can go get them as ready plants. I'm crap at sowing. Whatever I want more of I let self-seed. I do want more hellebores, I only have six or seven.
Droopy here is the Photo Hellebor Royal Helleborus mix........I think is the one I have from Gurney Nursery.... Now what? I didnt know there were different kinds>. b
I have to ask a little bit more - what color were these blooms to start with? How tall is it? I have a Helleborus foetidus - it's about 70 cm tall with green, large flowers in a cluster on top and stinks when I cut it back for winter. Then I have the H. niger, with the single, white flowers, and I think the dark red, very early one is purpurescens or something like that. I also have three mixes. One is white with a bit of green and some freckles inside, one is kinda pink/purple, and one is pale red on the outside and green inside. They're all about 30 cm tall. The seventh died on me last winter, I remember now. What I'm trying to find are the double ones. They are gorgeous!
Helleborous Blooms color was just what you see>>>>>.Green I purchased 3 this year.. And the other 2 are much smaller and did only abour 4 inches with about 3 branches..I notice now they are doing more.. I have no idea sbout anything.. First time here. Hoping the others are different colors. Now there is a different plant that has another name, I can't find it right now.. Was wondering if it is the same...... Thanks b
The link will take you to a Norwegian web site with lots of lovely hellebores. To the right you find a window with lots of text in it, and last one down but one is the hellebore show. Enjoy! http://www.eides-stauder.com/
