Hostas are the easiest plants to grow, as long as you have some shade and ample rainfall. Fabulous, no maintenance foliage plants brings structure and colour to any landscape. Hostas can grow in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors.
From tiny plants suitable for troughs or rock gardens to massive 4-foot clumps with heart-shape leaves almost 2 feet long that can be puckered, wavy-edged. Hostas can be white or green variegated, blue-gray, chartreuse, and emerald-edged. Every year there seems to be a new variety, with new, must-have features.
This tough, shade-loving perennial, also known as plaintain lily, blooms with white or purplish lavender funnel-shape or flared flowers in summer. Some are intensely fragrant. Hosta plants are more often grown for their foliage than for their flowers.
