Growing Hostas from seed

Question
I have been collecting seed from hostas for the past couple of seasons. Are there any special tricks to growing them from seed?
Thanks!

Answer
Hi Janet,
Thanx for your question. I have grown hosta from seed a couple of times. There's nothing to it. Use a pot that drains and regular potting soil. Sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil and then lightly cover with dirt and press down. Keep moist but not soggy. Germination takes place in 2-4 weeks. Keep it warm (75 F). I hope this helps.
Tom
