Product Description

HOSTA: It is difficult to find a garden that is without this versitile East Asian native. Lush foliage in diverse colors, heights and textures, coupled with its ability to excel in deep shade have captured gardeners' hearts everywhere.

Hosta 'Tattoo' Family: Liliaceae Origin: Hostas are native to China and Japan.

A true original, Tattoo's rounded leaves have their chartreuse-splashed centers framed in a blue-green border, and set in an apple-green background. Lavender flowers. Hostas prefer shade and moist soil. Good multipurpose plants for the shade and woodland garden, the border and containers. Excellent as groundcovers and great near water.

I bought this hosta by the picture on the listing. I was shocked when I received it that it was a one year tissue culture, had 1" roots like hair, and will NOT survive the winter. I would STRONGLY advise someone not to order from these people. When I mailed Hirt's Gardens regarding my dissatifaction, they simply ignored the problem and suggested returning the hosta. They do not want to address the problem. Now I am stuck with a $10 plant that will not make it through the winter. What they could have done is told customers it would not be ready till next year, then shipped in the spring when the tissue culture had roots and could live outside. I have to assume that all their plants are this way, since that is the CHEAP way to grow hostas. This whole plant is no larger than a CHICKEN EGG, if that gives you a hint at how bad it is. Caveat emptor!!!!
