Do you have a shady spot in the garden where nothing seems to grow? Most of us have an area under trees, along side of the house or next to a tall fence that gets so little sunlight that we can't get much to grow there. This is a perfect spot to plant the hosta.
Even though the hostas bloom for a short time in the summer, we usually think of them because of their beautiful foliage. There are many varieties of hostas available. Some have heart shaped leaves, some are round and still others have a lance like shape. You can find hostas with quilted leaves, smooth leaves, variegated, blue or green leaves.
Plant several types of hostas in these hard to grow areas for almost maintenance free beauty. They grow in any type of soil and make a wonderful ground cover for those areas that are hard to get at.
Hostas are easy to divide. This makes them a good, inexpensive basis for ground cover. Just dig them up and pull the roots apart and replant them to cover larger areas.
