Hostas (plantain lily) are a popular perennial plant that is known for it's easy-care, low maintenance nature.

Hardy in zones 3-9, hostas are shade-loving plants that come in a variety of sizes, colors,  and leaf textures. They bloom in summer and are an asset to any perennial garden.

From vibrant greens to blues, yellows, and variegated patterns, hosta  leaves offer a stunning range of colors that add elegance and depth to  any garden.

Pair hostas with complementary plants such as ferns, astilbes, and  heucheras to create a visually appealing and harmonious garden bed.
