I must have over 20 different types of hostas. Most have been collected through craigslist or freecycle. Although I have purchased some of the unusual varieties. I was surprised to learn that hostas are native to Japan. I've been reading up on them and will provide a post of more interesting tidbits at a later date.
For now, please enjoy a virtual tour around my yard - focusing on hostas.
 |
| Back yard bed - 5 varieties. Love the large erect blue hosta for pop! |
 |
| Hosta bed - including miniatures like Mouse Ears (small blue hosta) - 8 varieties |
 |
| East Hosta bed - initially plant here to see the form, and how they take. |
 |
| Giant Blue Hosta - on the porch. Added impact. |
 |
| Large Blue Hosta - up close. American Beauty in the back. |
 |
| Night Garden - two types of green/white Hosta and Hydrangea. |
You can see I make use of lots of different types. One of these summers I am going to divide and move around to get better impact. In some places, I have the white edged varieties next to the chartreusse edged ones and I think that diminishes the impact of both. Overall there is also perhaps too much crowding.
Nonetheless, not sure what I would have done with all this shade without these lovely plants! Also interesting to note that there are many types of hostas that are sun tolerant. I've even been reading lately about a winter hosta - that being one that comes up through the snow! How cool is that?
