Hosta-These are my favorite shade plants. There are probably 400 different varieties. Tiny dwarf to giant grand-daddy hosta. They prefer cool, shady gardens where they put on their best show. Each hosta has is own character, some leaves are long and pointed, some rounded and heart shaped, some with wavey edges. Some hosta have a deep vein look, others have a lacquered looking leaf. Many are variegated with a splash of cream or a delicate edge of siver. They range in colors of yellow, green and blues.
Most like shade, but a few varieties can be planted in the sun. They grow best in a soil that in rich in humus.
These plants are grown for their leaf beauty, but they have tall spikes that grow from the plant with tiny little bell shaped flowers on the spikes.
Many years ago a friend and I visited a nursery in Wayland. It was Hosta Heaven. Acre's and acre's of hosta. We purchased several different varieties all quite expensive at that time. Came home and divided them up. We both have tons of hosta now.
These are another plant I am willing to trade in the fall. I really do not need anything in return. If you would like some hosta let me know.
