Learn more aboutgrowing and caring for hostas.About HostasWhat’s neat about hostas is that there are so many sizes, heights, textures, and colors to work with! They fit into somany different kinds of gardens (patio, border, container, rock, shade) and are cold-hardy, too.Most varieties tend to have a spread and height of between 1 and 3 feet, but larger or smaller varieties are readilyavailable. Leaf colors include variegated white, lime green, and blue-green, to name just a few. The texture and shape ofhosta leaves are also diverse, ranging from smooth and narrow to ridged and heart-shaped. Though mainly known for their attractive foliage, the plants also produce lovely flowers from early summer to early fallin pink, lavender, light blue, or white. Hummingbirds and other pollinators love the flowers, and the flowers may even befragrant, depending on variety.Note: Slugs, snails, rabbits, and especially deer like hostas almost as much as people do. Keep this in mind if you havedeer regularly wandering into your garden, as they will readily graze a hosta patch down to just stems.PlantingHostas’ large leaves do not lend themselves well to full sun; they do best in partial sun or dappled shade, but will growin deep shade, too. Once established, they can take the summer heat and withstand mild droughts. 2/7Hostas prefer soil that is well-draining and fertile (amend soil with compost or rotted manure if your soil is poor). Theydo not like to sit in wet soil, so plant in a raised area or where soil doesn’t stay saturated (especially in winter). Ideally,soil should have a pH between slightly acidic and neutral (6.5 to 7.0), although hostas are forgiving in this regard.
