Doors open at 10:30 a.m. | Presentation at 11 a.m.

With their ease of growth, variety of plant shapes and sizes available, and diversity of leaf color, hostas are one of the most desirable garden perennials. Join Gene Pulliam, former President of the St. Louis Hosta Society, for an exploration of the “queen of the shade.” Learn about selecting the right hosta for your space and how to plant, care for, and divide hostas. Following the presentation, join members of the Hosta Society out in the Garden to explore our collection and get your hosta questions answered.
