Description
Atop The Hostas - Original Photography by Karol Livote
As landscapes mature, shaded areas develop. An excellent perennial plant for shade is hosta, also called plantain lily. Originally from the Orient, hosta, a herbaceous perennial, is grown for its attractive foliage. Some recent cultivars also have attractive and/or fragrant flowers. Because hosta's foliage dies to the ground at 28�F or below, it does not provide winter display; however, it combines well with the summer appearance of landscape plants that do provide winter interest.
Hostas vary in height from 2 inches to 4 feet tall. They have tubular or trumpet-like flowers of white, lavender, blue, bluish bicolors and purple. Foliage colors are green, yellow, white and blue, and center or edge variegation is common. Leaf texture ranges from smooth to crinkled or seersucker, and surface ranges from dull to glossy. Hostas with glossy leaves appear richer in color than the dull-leaved varieties. Leaf shapes vary from rounded to oval, heart-shaped to strap-like. The leaf may be flat, wavy-edged or somewhat contorted. Immature or juvenile hostas do not exhibit adult leaf shape or color; adult foliage characteristics develop three or more years after planting.
Depending on both cultivar and site, most hostas spread slowly by underground stems. Some cultivars have horizontal, above-ground stems which make them useful as ground covers. While site and maintenance practices affect mature height and spread, proper location and care can make hosta a long-lived and valuable landscape plant.
