September 2023
Fellow Hybridizers, Seed Growers, and Hosta Enthusiasts:
It is with sincere regret that I’m announcing I will not have a seed sale this year.
No seed sale for Nov. 2023!
It was in the works but disaster struck.
Mardy and I moved away from Mansfield two seasons ago. I’ve returned to maintain what I call a fenced (deer) compound, my playpen. Short story, the deer got in, made a home for themselves and cleaned everything out, including all of the marked and photographed seed scapes. Yikes.
Never seen such devastation, pots as well as in ground plants, large and small alike.
Check out the pics.
The flags were formerly scapes full of seeds ( a banner year for seeds ) !
So no seed sale this fall for Hosatworks. I’m so sorry for this, as I have had one for over 20 years and have enjoyed distributing my seeds all over the US and Europe. Your pics of the seedlings on facebook warms my heart.
But all is not lost. Clarence Hanna, my very good buddy and fellow hybridizer, will have a good size seeds sale. Check him out at https://www.kirksidehostas.com
later,
– Doug
