You’ve got
inner leaf variegation and outer leave variegation; some varieties have puckered
leave, others are ribbed, but most are smooth. Most flowers produced are light
lavender and boring, but Royal Hostas are white and very fragrant.
Hosta fills
the shady area dance card; too much sun and they wilt; though most of the
predominate white or cream variegated varieties will do nicely in these sunny
situations.
They don’t
need much water, and should not be planted where they might mingle with the
lawn sprinklers. Deer are especially fond of them; and view your hosta
plantings as sort of a Baskin Robbins of the herbivore world. Anytime a deer
might venture into your landscaping the hosta will be the first to go, drawn
like light to a black hole.
The Hosta
is the true test of your horticultural skills, or lack of them. If they die
while under your care, you will have officially dubbed yourself Sir Duke of the
“black” Thumb.
