CHICK'S HOSTAS

As you might have guessed, this site is about hostas, primarily streaked hostas, along with some of my named introductions.  None of these offered here have been propagated by tissue culture, all are originator's stock (OS) and I  am the originator.  

Occasionally, I may offer divisions of some of my favorite plants from my gardens.  These are not my introductions, but older varieties that may be hard to find now but are still worth growing if you don't have them.

Only three of my introductions have been propagated by tissue culture by other growers, 'Satisfaction', 'Sergeant Pepper', and 'Surfer Girl', and I seldom offer them now.  If I do, they will be listed under Hostas From My Gardens.

For now,  availability is zero.  I'll be adding plants soon, but it takes me a while to get going now.

                       How it came to this -- a short history of what used to be.  

                (you really don't have to read this.  It's just one of those vanity things.  

                      I'm writing this in the winter, and I have nothing better to do.)

My wife Jennifer, our partner Dave Bowman and I closed the Crownsville Nursery and its hosta division Bridgewood Gardens a few years back after more than 40 years of growing hostas and perennials.  

When we retired, Jennifer and I moved from Virginia to Maryland and I vowed never to sell plants again.  After a couple years of that, I got bored and started selling plants again. I didn't like working hard seven days a week and I'm not crazy about retirement either, so I started selling  my streakers and named introductions on the Facebook Hosta Auction group.  This web site is the next step.  

Again, I apologize for what follows, but I don't have much to do now, so to entertain myself I sit at the computer and write this stuff.
