Best deal you ever got on a hosta.

What's your best retail deal on a hosta?

Mine is on this blue mouse ears.

I was at a small retail garden center just north of Toronto a few years ago.

I struck up a conversation with the owner, who was an older Italian gentlemen.

He had a few varieties of "landscaper type" Hostas (Patriot,Francee, elegans etc)

I noticed the BME unlabeled in a 1 gallon pot, it had about 6 eyes.

I asked him about it, he said that it was "no good" stunted, and no one wanted it (most of his customers were commercial landscapers)

I told him I would take a chance on it, he said "OK give me a "toonie" (Canadian $2.00 coin) and it's yours.....
