Why Ordering Early Gives Your Garden the Edge This Season

Spring is in full swing, and gardeners everywhere are planting with purpose. Whether you're building out a new border, refreshing a shade bed, or finally claiming that sunny corner for something show-stopping, timing makes all the difference — especially when it comes to availability.

H. 'Wolverine' a vigorous hosta that doesn't disappoint.

At Hosta Heaven, we don’t grow by the thousands. We grow plants we believe in — varieties that are bigger, better-looking, and harder to find. And once they’re gone, they’re gone.

That’s why if you’re thinking about placing an order, now is the time. Early orders get the best selection, the healthiest plants, and the highest chance of snagging this season’s standout performers.

Why Early Ordering Matters

Some plants disappear fast — especially:

• New introductions that are just hitting the market

• Plants of the Year that suddenly land on everyone’s must-have list

• Harder-to-find hostas and collector favorites that are in short supply nationwide

We’ve already sold out of several varieties this season, and a few more are close behind. The garden doesn’t wait — and neither do other gardeners.

If you're eyeing something special, don't wait for summer. By then, the most exciting plants are often long gone.

Plants Worth Grabbing Before They Sell Out

A few garden-worthy favorites still in stock as of now:

• H. Coast to Coast – Tall, golden, and full of texture. If you want your shade garden to stand out, this hosta delivers drama.

• H. Love Story – A Proven Winners beauty with heart-shaped foliage and creamy variegation. Garden-worthy and personally meaningful.

• Fusion of Fire™ Orendia – Fiery orange blooms on a compact reblooming daylily. Bold color that fits anywhere.

• Wildberry Heuchera – Glossy purple foliage that doesn’t fade in the sun. A perfect contrast to green or gold hostas.

• Little Lime Punch® Hydrangea – Compact size, punchy multicolor blooms, and a long flowering season make this one a favorite for good reason.

We grow these varieties because they earn their space — either by blooming longer, growing stronger, or simply stopping visitors in their tracks.

But inventory is limited, especially this year, as unusual winter weather affected availability. Ordering now ensures you get the plants you want, while they’re still in stock and looking their best.
