What customers say
Customers are highly satisfied once the Minuteman Hosta establishes, praising its robust growth and striking classic variegation. Successful growers value its resilience and reliability as a foundation plant for shade gardens. While packaging generally arrives well, initial satisfaction is sometimes tempered by the small size and perceived viability of the bare roots upon delivery. Some buyers feel anxious about the slow start or report complete failure to sprout. Despite these initial concerns, the plant delivers excellent results after establishment, and customer service resolutions are satisfactory, mitigating long term negative feelings.
