I am new to the Hosta plant. I have several wonderful shaded spots that I concluded I could fill with beautiful Hosta. I thought it would be useful to other Hosta Newbies to record and talk about my experience. Others are welcome to chime in with suggestions, recommendations, and stories.
One of my reasons for concluding Hosta would do well for me is because of this little guy...
This Hosta was here when I moved in. I don't know it's name but it suffered a lot of abuse. Not being aware that it was even there I piled rocks and bricks on it and buried it completely while Landscaping. Last spring I noticed leaves were trying poke up through the dirt and bricks so I uncovered it and transplanted it to this safer location where it has since put up two sections.
This plant took the beating and still just wants to be happy. I also learned that Hosta leaves are edible to humans (which is why deer love them).
