Hostas are native to China, Korea and Japan and form about 20 or more species. Two of those species are found in the Islands of Japan. There, two thirds of the land is steep mountainous terrain and cannot be used for agriculture or habitation. The heavy shade of the mountains forbids normal vegetable crops so farmers there grow, sell and cook hosta as a vegetable crop. Marinated hosta petioles anyone?
Migrant hostas have found a new kingdom in the United States and especially in the past four decades the quality of the hybridization work done here has brought hostas to an astonishing level of diversity and beauty. Eminence Meadows offers some of the finest of these varieties available, both new and old.
