Hosta
Although
grown primarily for their leaves, hostas also produce lovely lavender or white
trumpet shaped flowers. Indispensable plants in the shady parts of the perennial
garden. Ideal for edging walks and paths or in large drifts. Interplant with
daffodils to cover fading daffodil foliage. Hostas like shade to partial shade
and moist, well-drained soil. Blue leaves need more shade, gold ones more sun
to bring out their color. Deer and slugs are their only major enemies. Hostas
like woodsy conditions. Interplant with other shade loving plants such as pulmonaria,
astilbe and ferns. Low maintenance is one of their strong points - they seldom
need dividing unless you want more plants. We offer plants for the beginner
as well as the connoisseur.
Hostas are sized as follows: D = Dwarf, 3-6 "; S = Small, 6-12"; M = Medium, 12-24"; L = Large, 24-36"; VL = Very Large, Over 36". Zones 3-9
