Description
Hostas are low mounding perennials that come in a dizzying array of leaf colors and flower colors. Usually that have large oval like leaves and can range in size from just a few inches to several feet. They are shade plants and are great for understories. Hostas with variegated leaves, of which there are plenty make great accent plants.
