A recent post about minis and smalls got me thinking about the discrepancies in information given for hosta sizes. Catalogs often have different descriptions, and what is a small for one grower, is listed as a medium by another. Some of the newer ones haven't been grown long enough before they are registered (if they are registered) to determine size.
On top of that, growing conditions are a major factor.
This isn't a problem so much for pot heads, but makes it difficult for you grounders.
I did some searching at the AHS, but I cannot find their definitive rules on size classification, although I recall reading something about size determinations in a Hosta Journal. The link below is the closest thing I could find, It refers to "generally agreed" info on sizes.
Does anyone have anything more official?
