Midwest Regional Hosta Society Winter Symposium --  February 22

​

The MRHS meeting featured six excellent, very informative presentations, along with a silent auction and conversation with old and new friends.

​

Glenn Herold showed the differences in hosta flowers of various cultivars throughout the season, and Rob Mortko explained the intricacies of hosta tissue culture.  Bob Solberg showed variegation trends in hostas produced over the last several decades.  Don Rawson tantalized everyone with what's new in the world of hostas.  Noah Schwartz  described issues in large wholesale grower hosta production, an area unknown to most gardeners, and Mark Zilis provided an informative summary of historical figures in the hosta community.

​

The MRHS winter symposium has a lot packed into one day--plan to attend next year!
