If you went to the garden centre to pick up some Hostas, would that be considered a Hosta taking?

i googled that very question and results seem to vary,some people have had a foot a year some less,i suppose it depends on how it gets through the winter and where you put it,they do better planted in the ground which is what i'm doing,my garden is West facing,a more mature specimen would have been a little more hardy but prices shot up the bigger they were,a well grown one like in the photo was £170....ouch!
