Hostas - Brighten Shade Gardens

Common Name(s):Hosta, Plantain lily, Funkia

With its ease of growth, variety of plant shapes and sizes available, and diversity of leaf colorations, Hostas are one of the most desirable perennials for the partial to full shade garden. These shade loving perennials will brighten up any shade garden. In the landscape, the foliage can provide a bold presence while softening the appearance of well defined areas.  Hostas produce lily-like, bell-shaped, white, lilac, or blue colored flowers on stalks that rise above the foliage in the mid summer. Many cultivars produce fragrant flowers which are great for attracting hummingbirds into the garden. Check out our Hosta Care Page for detailed growing are care instructions.
