 Hostas
Hostas are
extremely popular, hardy herbaceous perennials grown
primarily for their beautiful foliage. They are easy to
grow, shade-tolerant plants. Leaves come in a wide range
of shapes, colors, sizes, and textures and may be solid in
color or variegated in different combinations of blue,
green, white, and gold. The plants are low maintenance and
are widely available in nurseries and garden centers. |

The Hosta Bed
The flowering crab
apple tree provides the shade for the Hosta bed. The bed
itself was established pre
 2000 with evergreen bushes and
landscaping fabric -- which all was removed in 2003 (see photo). The
next year a few hostas were started. In 2005, several more
were added and a simple bird bath was placed on one side.
Hosta
Mulch Hint: Use cocoa hull mulch around Hostas -- it
tends to diminish slug problems and is slower to
decompose.
Gerbera Daises added in 2006 around the bird
bath. What hosta is this?
