| Hi,
I am having trouble finding this hosta. There is one place that has a small 4" one (so she said over the phone) and I would like to know how quickly it will grow. The info sites say 'medium' but any comments? Also, I am in Canada, what would be a good mail order company? I haven't done mail order before. Thanks for any tips! |

| I bought a very small (think first year TC) Rainbow's End in 2007. It wasn't until 2011 before it became something to actually look at. It wasn't a super fast grower for me. Now, in its 6th year, it might be 20" across. |

| As far as I understand the US won't send to Canada to private addresses. Agricultural rules I suppose, but I am not 100% certain. Thanks for this link, I will check it out. Melissa, I am surprised it took this long considering it is only supposed to be 11" tall. Perhaps I should keep looking and try to find a larger one. |

| Have you tried Goldenbrook. They advertise on the Hosta Library opening page and have an extensive selection of Hosta. Steve |

| Paula, Can you please email me through My Page? I can give you a tip on where I saw some within the last couple of weeks at a great price in Bowmanville. Also, have you tried Crooked Creek Garden Centre in Newtonville? Vanessa |

| I did try Goldenbrook and she said she has 2 left and has sold 38 this year! It is only about 4" tall though. She is holding it for me until Sunday. I haven't heard of Crooked Creek Garden Centre, I will see if they have a website. Thanks for the help everyone. |
