The Story

Plant Bio

Hostas are clump-forming, herbaceous perennials grown primarily for their beautiful foliage. Native to northeast Asia, they come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and textures, producing lily-like flowers on stalks in summer.

Features wavy, heart-shaped leaves of good substance. The foliage emerges with a blue-green center and a wide, feathery, creamy white margin in spring, which matures to a green center and a creamy yellow margin by summer.

Uses & Benefits:

Provides lush, textured foliage that thrives in shaded areas, adding visual interest year-round.

Excellent groundcover for shady spots, suppressing weeds and reducing soil erosion.

Supports local pollinators by offering shelter and nectar in shaded garden zones.
