3 questions

Subject: Some unusual hosta questions

1)   How long can a mature, bare root Hosta generally be left in a bucket of 
water that is at 70 to 80 degrees temp?  What starts to happen to the plant 
and at what time?  Suffocation, rot, etc?  Over how many days.
I suppose it will rot Why not gibve it a try?
2)  Given the above question and answer, what medium is the best to put 
Hostas in if you want to just store them for 1 to 5 days?
Just place them in a plastic bag that will do

3)  A woman asked me if there are any Hostas bees do not like - she is highly 
allergic.  I told her I doubt there are any but thought I would ask as she 
loves Hostas but bees are life and death to her.
Hostas are visitited by bumble bees not bees at least in 
Europe. MAy that makes a difference

Thanks very much,

Tom Carlson
