Check out is this month's issue of BIRDS & BLOOMS, which has an article beginning on page 24 entitle "Top 10 Hardy Hostas. They listed their top 10 of the hardiest, easiest-to-grow varieties." The top ten hostas chosen:
3. Dragon Tails (miniature)
4. Sagae
10. Blue Mouse Ears (miniature)
We think all these hostas are solid choices!
If you have not ordered your copy of Mark Zilis's superb new book, "Mark Zilis' Field Guide To Hostas", do not wait another day. It's a smaller version of his Hostapedia that you can lift with one hand and rest on your lap to comfortable read.
It is excellent. We highly recommend it. All the better minis are detailed.
It's $44.95 plus a $7 shipping charge (for US delivery), call 1-800-528-2909 to order.
