Hostas

According to the Perennial Plant Association, Hostas have become the number one selling perennial.  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. Complement large, bold Hosta foliage with ferns, grasses, sedges (especially gold or variegated), Irises (for their upright spiky effect), Astilbes, and Dicentra.
