Hostas
Hostas bring structure and soothing texture to the garden, thriving in shade with their broad, layered leaves in tones of green, blue, or gold. Their foliage creates a calm, cooling presence beneath trees and along paths, while summer flower spikes add gentle height and seasonal interest without overwhelming the space.
How to Choose
Leaf color and variegation: Blue, gold, green and variegated leaves set the mood of a shade planting.
Leaf size and texture: Sizes run from mouse-ear miniatures to giants, with smooth, puckered or wavy surfaces.
Light tolerance: Blue-leaved hostas hold color best in shade, while gold types need some sun to color up.
Slug resistance: Thick, substantial leaves stand up to slugs far better than thin ones.
