Extra hosta on hand?

15 years ago

I'm trying to fill up my woodland garden with hosta. If anyone is in the south Chicago suburbs and has a bounty of hosta plants, I"d love to take them off your hands. Free or low cost please.

Thanks,

Denise

Dear Denise,

I have some hosta(s) around 6 large mature old-fashioned hyacinth hostas. They have the dark shiny green leaves and nice lavender flowers late in summer.

I'm near Midway - where abouts are you located.

They would be free for the taking. I'm more interested in finding a good home for them.
