I understand that Hostas do not come true from seed. Is this a problem? 
What do commercial growers do? 

Re: person who bought seeds from Japan -is there a reliable source you 
could direct me to?

Finally, and please don't flame me for this, but I rail constantly 
against the use of the non-word "veggie," as it appears in every media 
form. It is slang as used here, and denotes a vegetarian when used in 
England. The original word "vegetable" is perfecly good and correct. Can 
we use it, please?
