Hosta is the Friendship Plant

Hosta 'Colesburg Baby Zooks'

Making friends is the best thing about hostas. My hosta-friends at Hosta Leaf nursery near Colesburg, IA are the nicest people you will ever meet. Bob & Julie Hackbarth grow hosta specializing in the Rosedale hosta line by Jerry Havrada and also Bob's own hosta introductions all with the first name Colesburg.

Colesburg Baby Zooks is a mini/small hosta named for the nickname Bob calls his daughter after a cartoon character. Baby Zooks is a very unstable streaked plant, grows great, and puts on a very powerful flowering show. It's fun!

Bed #28 - 2007

Hostas - 'Colesburg Sonny Boy' 'Colesburg Baby Zooks' & Bob Hackbarth's chartreuse (yellow) sdlg he gave to me. Assorted sedums with hens & chicks.
