HostasDirect, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Minnesota.  Owner Tom Carlson and most of the staff are proudly certifiable "hosta freaks."    We have thousands of customers in 49 states, visitors to our website from over 100 countries, and over 12,000 readers of our e-mail newsletter with well-known special columnist, Marcia Fluer.   We also have an incredible talented all-around person that built our software and unique websites, Vice President, Joseph Husby.   Our shipping department, run by Mary Alexander, receives many emails and great reviews from our customers.    They are meticulously and creatively packaged.  Laura Nelson oversees many operations in the business including marketing and advetising.  We have incredibly hard and invested a great deal try to be your best source for hosta information and hostas.

Our Minnesota retail site  opens when weather permits in the spring and stays open until the second or third week of August.  We are NOT open 7 days a week so please check our hours before you visit.   At this location we grow and sell our Starter TC and Advanced Starter products.  We grow, dig and ship our Mature Divisions at other locations.   We continue to accept and ship orders online until late September.   Please sign up for our e-mail list so we can keep you informed.

We own IDeal Garden Markers that sells a new, patent-pending, garden marker for plant identification that solves all of the problems 1,300 gardeners expressed in our survey.   Joe built this website with great software creativity so that you can design and order your own attractive weather and sun-resistant plastic labels online and then we print and mail to you.   In the future we will also be offering engraved garden markers.  Please sign up for our enewsletter so we can let you know.

We have tried to provide the public with everything that we would like a vendor to have ourselves.   It has taken a lot of time and cost a fair amount of money, but we are now rated in the "Top 5 Hosta Nursery" by Dave's Garden and we feel like we continue to serve, which is our goal.

We are very appreciative of our customers and only regret we can't meet them all individually.
