April Plant of the Month
Hostas
Hostas are popular in the garden for good reason - these beautiful hardy perennials add texture, form and color to the landscape and are very easy to grow. Hostas are adaptable plants that thrive in almost any climate and are low maintenance.
Best known as plants for shadier spots, Hostas will indeed brighten up a shady and wet corner but there are also varieties that will flourish in sunnier locations. Ideal conditions for Hostas tend to be rich moist soils in spots that get morning sun, or cooler sun. You will know your Hosta is getting too much sun because the leaves with start to show brown or burnt edges, the good news is that these garden wonders are also very easy to relocate. Here are some of our top picks for the landscape. All of these varieties are available at our Kent Washington Nursery location.
