ViolaAnn said:So many ways to "plan" a hosta garden. And then you'll visit a nursery and in order to plant all the new ones, your planning goes out the window. But, I very much like to plant hostas that are inverse colours next to each other

or colours that pick up colours in the adjacent hostas (or companion plants)

And don't forget to include some solid colour hostas to give the eye a rest from the variegated ones. Then consider height, overall size, texture. And if it doesn't look right, move things around.


So much information packed in one post! Thank you so much Ann! I'll definitely remember to consider the things you mentioned. Also, your Hostas are so pretty!
