Hosta
or Plantain Lily

Hosta

Description: Hostas, the ultimate shade plant! They demand little of you besides a bit of shade and will come back year after year. Hostas give a blast of bold texture as well as a variety of leaf colors, patterns and shapes. Hosta foliage now comes in an impressive array of color: hues of green (of course), gold to nearly yellow, blue and almost gray along with a large array of stripes and variegations. Leaves can vary from round or oval to heart-shaped and come in every size. Never plant Hostas together that are similar in form, color and texture. They should differ in at least one of these elements. Complement large, bold Hosta foliage with ferns, grasses, sedges (especially gold or variegated), Irises (for their upright spiky effect), Astilbes, and Dicentra (for their foliage as well as their flowers.) Our favorites include: Brim Cup, Montana Aureo-marginata, Great Expectations, Spilt Milk, Sum & Substance, Frances Williams, Kabitan, and Love Pat.
