Hosta … More Than Just Another Pretty Green
Hosta plants? They’re those green plants, right? Well yes; however, hosta are so much more than just those “green plants.”
From spring until frost, in various shades of green and blue and gold, hosta can provide a remarkable display in your garden. Let’s take a look at a few of the hosta varieties available.
Among those to be considered, you’ll want to be sure to check out ‘Brother Stefan’. This moderate growing hosta features large, heavily corrugated leaves with a wide dark green margin surrounding gold-colored centers. ‘Brother Stefan’ produces near white flowers in early summer. This spectacular plant should be placed close by so viewers gather the most pleasure available from its beauty.
Suppose you’d like a bluer colored leaf? Then quite possibly ‘Blue Jay’ has what you’re looking for. This small tight mound of round-leafed foliage is perhaps the bluest of any of the hosta. An attractive show of light lavender flowers in late spring make ‘Blue Jay’ a truly excellent choice for blue foliage in your garden.
Speaking of flowers…if it’s fragrant flowers you seek on your hosta, be sure to consider ‘Guacamole’. Very fragrant soft white flowers complement the avacado-green foliage with darker edges to make for a truly remarkable plant. Add to this that ‘Guacamole’ is a rapid grower that can prosper in sun and you’re sure to tuck in one or two of these hosta among the flowers in your garden.
But you want even more than green, blue-green, and fragrant flowers from the hosta?
Well, how about a touch of bright red?
That’s right. ‘Red October’ a small to medium rather non-descript arching mound of bluish-green foliage exhibits a spectacular display when in flower. In late summer, the pale lavender flowers on ‘Red October’ can be seen growing on bright red scapes. One can hardly pass by this unusual plant without noticing the unusual color contrast of the flowers, foliage, and scapes. Be sure to plant this hosta where everyone will have a chance to view this stunning beauty.
So, yes, while it is true that many hosta plants are green…it is also true that hosta are oh so much more than “just another pretty green plant!”
