I love Hosta's. It is the one plant that is absolutely hard to kill. The only way to kill it is to dig it up and leave it out of contact of the soil or put weed killer on it. Otherwise, you have an excellent hardy plant that will fit anywhere in the landscape. Hosta's recover nicely from hard frosts too. They are easy to propagate and move around. Everyone should own at least one of these. They don't require a lot of fuss, no fertilizer or watering required when planted in the landscape. I plant them in small clumps and then every 4 to 5 years, I dig them up, propagate and sell them at my local farmers market. This is the one and only plant my sister can grow!

Great to hear they are so good and hardy. I have a problem though getting them started growing. Do you have any suggestions? I need to get some started, but is the panhandle of FL a good growing climate?
