Great plants for shady locations.  Hostas range in size from tiny dwarfs with leaves only an inch or so long to huge varieties forming clumps up to 6' wide.  The nearly limitless variety of leaf shapes, sizes, patterns and colors make them one of the most versatile plants available for the shade. They are useful as ground covers, edging plants, or  specimens, in the border, in masses, or mixed with other shade loving plants such as ferns, Astilbes, Polygonatums, Liriopes, and many others for naturalized shade gardens. We carry a nice variety of Hostas, but if you are really serious about them you must visit our sister website, Bridgewood Gardens. They specialize in Hostas and have an amazing selection.

Large - This group includes some of the best known Hostas. They are among the largest plants commonly grown in the garden.  While it may be true that their size alone makes them interesting subjects, they do not depend solely on their huge leaves for their value in the garden. We doubt that anyone who has seen a 4 or 5 year old clump of one of these could fail to be impressed.  Some of these plants form mature clumps 4' or more across, some have flower scapes 6' to 8' tall.  While obviously not appropriate for every garden, if you have the right place for them they are truly spectacular. Just like puppies, the character of many of these plants changes substantially as they age.  Often the most dramatic leaf texturing and form emerge only after the plant is a few years old. Dwarf and Small Hostas are on the Hosta Page and Medium sizes are on the Hosta2 Page.

Forms an impressive mound of large, rounded, heavily puckered yellow leaves. Probably a sieboldiana hybrid. Bright light gives the best color. White flowers.

Quart Pots - $9.95 ea.
There are a great many large blue cultivars, some say too many. This one has large, heart-shaped leaves, not puckered but nicely veined.  Flowers are white. It is probably of sieboldiana lineage, but seems to be faster growing and less crinkled than most of the sieboldiana hybrids. It also seems to get larger than most.   Go to the Great Hostas Page - Buy in sets of 3 and Save!

Many of today’s expensive blue leaved Hostas are hybrids or sports of this beautiful specimen sized plant. It forms a huge mound of heavily textured blue foliage, 4’ or more across.  There are many hybrids and sports of this plant selling for a lot more, but for the price, you can’t beat it. This plant has been around for a long time and you might find small variations among plants obtained from different growers.   Go to the Great Hostas Page - Buy in sets of 3 and Save!
