MaryStLouis on Feb 12, 2015I found this. http://www.bajabound.com/before/permits/agriculture.php There is the mention of an importation process here that seems to preclude bringing plants over from one's yard. I wouldn't risk it.Helpful Reply

Marianne on Feb 13, 2015Nope....no plants, fruits or vegetables can cross the border. Look for a gardening website in your new area. I am sure they will locate and order for you.Helpful Reply

MaryStLouis on Feb 13, 2015There are nurseries in Ensenada so you will probably be able to get some hostas there. I had a lot of them when living in LA so they'll do fine in the climate. My biggest issues were the summer heat and snail and slug damage.Helpful Reply

Jill on Feb 13, 2015NO! You cannot take plants, fruits or vegetables in either direction over the border. Some states also prevent you from bringing plants, fruits and vegetables between states too to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.Helpful Reply

Gail on Feb 13, 2015I know you can't or are not supposed to take anything across border to Canada so I imagine it would be the same for Mexico.Helpful Reply

Shelly E. Benac on Feb 14, 2015Interesting question??? I have families who live in Mexicali and cross over to Calexico and do some major shopping at Walmart...Need to ask them if they purchase fruits and vegetables and are allowed to cross with those purchases...The last time I was there, I did notice the packaged mixed greens from WM....now I'm curiousHelpful Reply

Kittykatz2001 on Feb 14, 2015I live in N. Texas and I have Hostas. It gets hot here but also cold. I was told by the person where I order my hostas that they need at least 30 days of freezing weather. We usually get at least that in winter. Going into my second year with them. We shall see.I also know that you can't take them across the border.Helpful Reply
