It was definitely hosta mania when the buying committee met this week.

Mary, one of our newest members, is president of the American Hosta Society and past president of the Minnesota Hosta Society. She has injected a big dose of hosta knowledge and interest into the group!

We will be offering a wider range of hosta varieties this year, many from new vendors. Some varieties will be sold bareroot (but still green and fully leafed out), which means you get a better price, but still get a great plant.

New this year, listed in our Perennials section, will be: Allegan Fog, Beckoning, Fantasy Island, Fragrant Blue, Grand Finale, Inniswood, Paradigm, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Sea Dream, Super Nova, Tick Tock, and Touch of Class.

We will also have, in more limited quantities and at higher prices in the Rare Plants booth, some of the most recently developed varieties: Linda Sue, Magic Fire, Smooth Sailing and Solar Flare.
