What Kinds of Hosta Seeds are You Looking For?

[GrannyNanny]

Hi folks -- I haven't been on this forum for awhile, but I'm in the middle of collecting seeds for next winter, and I'll have more than I can use myself. I have some from a gold hosta that reliably produces a lot of gold seedlings, and quite a few from streaked seedlings that came from Dorothy Benedict. I'd like to know what people are looking for, so I'll know what to save for others, even if I don't want that kind myself. Phyllis

Hi Phyllis,

People always like to grow things from streaked plants and if you have any with piecrust edges those are a lot of fun too.

Thanks for thinking of us

I second the streaked and pie crust too!

Since the topic is here.....what is the best way to collect seeds for the exchange? I have several with pods full, but not sure exactly the best method for collecting and storing until the seed exchange.

Hi Phyllis
I personally always like to try Dorhty Benedict seeds and always am interested in streaked pod parent seeds. i seem to get enough of the other colors from these plants any way. Bye Bryan

I do have some seeds from SEEDLINGS of Dorothy Benedict, all of which are streaked and have been since I grew them five years ago. I'll get them up on the forum when I've sorted them out to see how much I have. I also have a bright yellow large hosta that consistently throws yellow seedlings, so I'll put some of those up, too. Thanks for responding -- Phyllis
