    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 2.2 / 5 from 5 reviews.

    Nothing came up the first spring after planting, the second year, all 5 came up. It’s possible I planted too deep. I see others saying their plants didn’t come up the first spring either, give it time or buy a large pot from a plant store. The larger hastas are a hard find in my area so I’m grateful Eaden is selling the roots.

    I could copy-paste the other two reviews posted here. I was excited for these giant hostas I planted in the fall, but not one came up this spring. I’m very disappointed.

    While all the roots are growing, be aware it will take another 2-3 years to reach maturity. If you can’t wait spend the extra$ and buy whole plants.

    Hosta Roots - Giant Mix

    Store owner replied: Hello John. Thanks so much for your review! We greatly appreciate your feedback on this matter. We're always looking for ways to improve our products and service and will certainly take your information into account. Hosta roots need consistent soil temps of ~50°F or higher to wake up., so they might still have a chance. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. If you ever have any other concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to us and we'll be happy to do all we can to assist. Thanks again for your review and best wishes for your growing season!

    I bought this variety and the white feather hosta roots, planted them in the fall along our dry river bed and not one plant came up in the Spring. A very expensive disappointment.
