Hi everyone, I recently moved into a rental and am starting to fix up the landscaping. The front of the home is munched, and I noticed these green growths and sprouts. At first I thought they were Hosta but the stem seems a bit too long. I've asked around and was told either Hosta or a weed. There are many sprouts within the area. |

Christine said:I'm going with hosta, other members will know for sure the exact species Thank you very much! I'm really hoping they are Hosta. I don't have much of a green thumb and the area seems pretty full with them. |

| Don't think it's hostas, maybe Solomon's Seal https://garden.org/plants/brow...

| Agree with some kind of Polygonatum species, usually considered desirable, and less pedestrian than Hosta. Definitely not Hosta. 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

| Definately Solomon Seal; one of the variegated varieties. |

| What a nice plant that is, I've never seen it before and its deer resilient that makes it even better than a hosta. |

I agree with Tiffany that it is a Polygonatum, definitely not hosta. I have a field of them and enjoy the lily-of-the-valley look of them. Variegated Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum x hybridum 'Striatum') For comparison, here's what a hosta looks like as it emerges in spring: They are very easy to lift and move to another spot. |
