Small Hostas These compact varieties are perfect for  smaller pots and balconies. Popular choices include ‘Blue Mouse Ears,’  ‘Tiny Tears,’ and ‘Little Caesar.’

Medium Hostas These versatile hostas fit well in  medium-sized containers and offer a wider range of colors and textures.  Consider varieties like ‘Francee,’ ‘Patriot,’ ‘June,’ and ‘Golden  Tiara.’

Large Hostas If you have ample space, larger hostas  can make a dramatic statement in large pots or planters. Options include  ‘Sum and Substance,’ ‘Empress Wu,’ ‘Sagae,’ and ‘Krossa Regal.’

Sun and Substance Some hosta varieties, like ‘August  Moon’ and ‘Sun and Substance,’ can tolerate more sun than others, making  them ideal for sunnier spots.

Variegated Hostas For added visual interest, choose  variegated hostas with different colored leaves. Popular options include  ‘Patriot,’ ‘Liberty,’ ‘Fire and Ice,’ and ‘Great Expectations.’

Keep in mind that not all hosta varieties need the same kind of care.  Research specific light and size requirements for your chosen hosta  varieties to ensure optimal growth. And refer to plant tags or  descriptions for detailed care instructions.
