Are these varieties of Hostas a good or bad idea to grow in Minnesota?? #922700

Asked December 06, 2025, 3:43 PM EST

I came across this online listing for Hosta seeds: https://www.sophisticatedmazy.com/products/2025-hot-sale-hosta-seeds-perennial-shade-plant-for-garden-2-2. The images are quite interesting; however, I don't want to invest in something that could possibly be dangerous to the eco-system. Thoughts on these? Thanks in advance.

Expert Response

The listing on these plants contains no information regarding them and we have never seen hosta such as these anywhere in the upper Midwest.  We recommend that you do NOT order them.  Shop your local nurseries in the spring; there are many new hosta varieties that will grow well here and are attractive.
