Courthouse Hosta Bed

This is the second year for our Hosta bed. It usually takes 3 - 4 years to get established. Stop-by and see these "Prairie Bloom" varieties suited to the Kansas climate for shade to partial shade locations. The bed is north of the Riley County Courthouse at 5th and Poyntz in Manhattan. The complete list of "Prairie Bloom" Hostas is at http://www.prairiestarflowers.com/Prairie%20Bloom%20pages/Hosta_allpics.html. Information on growing Hostas is at http://www.hfrr.ksu.edu/doc3179.ashx.
