Propagating a Hosta Sport: Surgical Division for a Unique Leaf Mutation

To propagate a single unique leaf sport on a 'Francee' hosta:

1. Dig the entire clump; wash soil from roots on the sport's side.
2. With a sharp razor, slice away tissue producing normal leaves, retaining the sport's growing point with as many roots as possible.
3. Dust cuts with fungicide.
4. Pot in sterile mix; grow one season.
5. If the sport "comes true" next year, plant in a featured spot.
