    Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 5 reviews.

    Planting these hostas was easy and growing process was quick. Only thing is the snails really ate up the leaves.

    Hosta Roots - Blue Mouse Ears

    Got them at the very end of the season (late June), but the roots came in fantastic condition and started leafing out the first week. They are all going strong and I couldn't be more pleased.

    Hosta Roots - Blue Mouse Ears

    These got planted in a perfect spot four months ago. They are about 3" high now and pale in color. I'm encouraged that they are still alive though.
