| probably in the next couple of weeks. i found that no matter when i sowed hosta - December to March - they all came up in the first weeks of April. PV |

| Yvonne, glad you asked this because, I thought they would be the first to sprout, since they are shade tolerant, spring thru Fall plants. |
RE: ws hosta

| Yeah I was thinking I should be seeing sprouts or at least very soon. |
RE: ws hosta

| ditto what PV said--I checked my sprout chart for last year and the two types of hosta seeds I WS on 12/25 sprouted within days of each other on April 17 & 21. They grow v-e-r-y slowly but they're the cutest darn sprouts of any I've seen. Wish I'd taken pictures but I didn't. |

| I think mine sprouted a bit later, but what I got out of them was great. The siblings were the most beautiful blue/green with thick huge leaves (took 4 years to see their full potential) and if given the opportunity to do what I want, some will be moving with me this spring. |

| Maybe someone can post some hosta seedlings I have my interest peaked now!!! |

| ymaddox - check out growing hosta from seed on the Hosta Library website. There are lots and lots of photos of hosta seedlings at different stages. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing hosta from seed outdoors

| ... we are all hungry for spring cAROL - you said a cotton-pickin' mouthful!!! But altho' I'm hungry for warmer temperatures, I'm not looking forward to the monsoon rains we normally get and more cellar flooding. PV - those are the most adorable sprouts! Mine that I grew from seed before I discovered WS looked similar and I sure hope they come through the winter again. |
RE: ws hosta

| Just had to say I approve. Love the pics too. I'm not sowing any hosta this year but I did the last two years in a row. Time to watch my adorable babies grow up. : )I'm looking forward to seeing how they have grown this year. |

| Yvonne, do you have sprouts yet? I got 2 sprouts, but they could be other seeds? |
