One of the best-known plants for shade gardens, hostas are easy to grow in reasonably decent soil with little care once established and sited with protection from sun. Also called plantain lilies, cultivars grow in a diverse variety of foliage shape, color, and size, from miniature hostas for containers to mammoths for dramatic borders.
Miniature: Less then 8 inches tall.
Small: 9-14 inches tall.
Medium: 15-22 inches tall.
Large: 23-29 inches tall.
Giant: 30 inches and above.
Some varieties are more sun tolerant, but even they require protection from afternoon sun.
Hostas look great planted with anything — bleeding hearts, ferns, epimediums, purple foliage plants like coral bells, cohosh and ajuga — their foliage compliments other plants beautifully.
