Hosta is a large family of more than 200 different species and varieties. It flowers any time from early June through to the end of August often, on larger plants, with flowers that lend themselves wonderfully to cutting and bringing indoors to enjoy in a vase full of water. Completely tolerant of dense shade and equally happy in bright sunshine, hosta is a very hardy plant that bounces back year after year reliably, usually maturing to the size of a soccer ball withâ€" in three to five years at which point you can split and replant into other parts of your garden or give away to friends at the end of the season. Hosta is one of my favorite perennials for a number of reasons. If you haven‘t grown any hosta (sometimes called funkia) in your yard, you‘re missing something. By MARK CULLEN Special to the Oakville Beaver You‘ll know the hosta plant by its broad spadeâ€"shaped leaves that rise from the ground gracefully, sometimes in solid green, often variegated yellow or white and green, and one of my favorite variâ€" eties in my own yard, a florescent green/yellow. On cloudy days it looks illuminated under the shade of my big shade trees. Hardy perennials to plant now This 3 bedroom bungalow features mature lot, finished basement ar oversized garage.
