![]() Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today’s gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. The wide variety of shapes, sizes and leaf colorings available make Hostas an indispensable part of any landscape design. Ranging in height from 4” to 40”, there’s a Hosta for every need. Leaves can be narrow, lance shaped or as wide as 20”, apple green to blue or variegated. A garden consisting solely of Hosta exhibits the colors and textures of a finely crafted quilt. Hostas thrive in partial shade, locations getting no more than 6 hours of sun each day. Hot afternoon sun can be deadly to Hosta. They do well in average soil, but like moist, well drained, highly organic soil best. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
