Propagated in a controlled environment for consistency and quality, these young plants are ideal for growers and gardeners who want reliable performance as they pot up or plant out. With a wide range of varieties—spanning bold blues and greens to bright golds and striking variegation—tissue culture hostas make it easy to build cohesive shade gardens, borders, woodland plantings, and container displays. Give them a gentle transition, steady moisture, and well-draining soil, and they’ll establish quickly and grow into the lush, dependable perennials hostas are known for.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"american-halo-hosta","title":"American Halo Hosta","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeaf color blue green to dark green in the center with a 1 3\/4\" wide margin that changes from light greenish yellow to creamy white.  A large size 24\" high by 73\"; leaves measure 15\" long by 11 1\/2\" wide; leaf oblong ovate, wavy, heavily corrugated and thick-substanced.  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe near white flowers have a pale lavender stripes on the petals and bear viable seeds.\u003c\/span\u003ein dense clusters from mid June into early July on 30' or so scapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight and Width:   \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e60x180 cm (24x71 in.)     Large leaves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaf size:   \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e36x25 cm (14x10 in.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaf:   B\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elue-green,(creamy yellow\u0026gt;creamy white) edge.  Thick, very corrugated, wavy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlower:   Near white with 30\" scapes.   June - July\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Hosta","offers":[{"title":"Quart","offer_id":43755006001401,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5757\/5673\/files\/Americn_Halo.jpg?v=1770816054"},{"product_id":"may","title":"May Hosta","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe next in the continuing line of mutations from H.
