Hosta

The King of the Shade Garden

No shade garden is complete without Hostas. Grown for their magnificent foliage, they come in thousands of varieties—from teacup-sized miniatures to massive giants with leaves the size of trash can lids. Their leaves can be blue, gold, green, or variegated with white. In summer, they send up spikes of purple or white lily-like flowers.

Why You Need It:

• Versatility: There is a hosta for every size and style of garden.
• Reliability: They come back bigger and better every single year.
• Low Maintenance: Just plant them and watch them grow.

Planting Tips:

Thrives in Part Shade to Shade. They love rich, moist soil. Note: Deer love hostas too. If you have heavy deer pressure, you'll need a repellent or a fence.
