Great plants for shady locations.  Hostas range in size from tiny dwarfs with leaves only an inch or so long to huge varieties forming clumps up to 6' wide.  The nearly limitless variety of leaf shapes, sizes, patterns and colors make them one of the most versatile plants available for the shade. They are useful as ground covers, edging plants, or  specimens, in the border, in masses, or mixed with other shade loving plants such as ferns, Astilbes, Polygonatums, Liriopes, and many others for naturalized shade gardens. We carry a nice variety of Hostas, but if you are really serious about them you must visit our sister website, Bridgewood Gardens. They specialize in Hostas and have an amazing selection.

Dwarf to Small - The smaller Hostas are used mostly as edgers and groundcovers or as small accents among larger plants, but are also valuable in shaded areas of the rock-garden.  Their fine texture makes them ideal for underplanting ferns. They range in size from only 4 to 6 inches across, to those that spread close to two feet wide when mature. Medium sized Hostas are on the Hosta2 Page and large sizes are on the Hosta3 Page.
