Huge thanks to Hans Hansen for opening up his own garden to us! Hans is a plant breeder at Walters Gardens with over 120 registered hostas (and roughly 650 varieties bred total) to his name. This is his personal quarter acre collection, so not everything he shows is something we carry, but we've linked a few of the plants we do carry. Questions about anything Hans mentioned? Drop them below!
