Most hostas are genetically diploid (chimera in leaf layers are 2-2-2). Hostas with the thickest leaves are often polyploid (4-2-2) or (3-3-3) or tetraploid (4-4-4) hostas genetically. The advantage of a thicker leaf is improved sun and slug tolerance and being more rugged. White center hostas with a thicker leaf are more sun resistant. Tetraploid hostas often have larger blooms and the leaves are held more upright.
Not based upon size: mini hostas can be more expensive than larger varieties.
Market rates: although other sellers most often do not sell hostas that are as old and mature as ours.
Slow multipliers: some varieties do not “set many buds” for next year’s divisions. There are buds on most of the hostas customer's receive – next year’s divisions.
New to the market: cost more for obvious reasons.
Uncommon: some or our hostas are uncommon.
Take a lot of space: we can’t grow other varieties in that same space.
Do not divide easily: some hosta roots go straight down and are easier to divide. Others converge like a V and their entire root system can fall apart when cut.
I want to keep the hosta myself: I am hosta junkie too LOL.
I want the hosta to mature more: unless we get a certain price.
We do have sales of some varieties at times but not too often. We notify by email.
