Seed Quantity: 200 pcs
Description:
Hosta seeds are small, usually black, and can vary in shape and size depending on the species. They are the reproductive structures of Hosta plants, which are grown for their attractive foliage and are commonly used in landscaping and gardening. Hosta seeds are typically planted in the spring or fall and require a period of stratification (cold treatment) to germinate. They can be sown directly in the soil or started indoors, and with proper care and attention, can grow into mature Hosta plants in a few years. Hosta seeds are a great way to propagate new plants or add variety to an existing garden.

- Water the plants deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Use a balanced fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for best results.
