Hostas

A beloved fixture at the Chelsea Flower Show, hostas are a classic garden staple, native to northeast Asia.

Why We Love Them

With over 2,500 cultivars of differing colors, textures, and sizes, you're sure to find a hosta that vibes with your garden style.

Requirements

Sunlight needs vary with these perennials. All should be kept in some shade, but the lighter the color of their leaves, the more sunlight the hostas will need.

Forget The Flowers

Though hostas produce a tubular bloom that attracts pollinators, they are mostly celebrated and cultivated for their magnificent foliage.

Eat Your Greens

Some cultivars are edible, and are described as having a slightly more bitter taste than green beans.
