I did go through a minor hosta phase, too, but I don't have much shade. My mom got me to try some mini-hostas, and they've been fun. I do have an overcrowded hosta bed that was here when we bought the house, but I haven't done much but thin them when they threaten to break out of the bed. I think half my friends now have starts of my hostas, and I've planted divisions of them in every shady corner of the yard. Regretting that now. . .I'd rather have more varieties, rather than multiple plants of the same few varieties!
