Hosta plataginea
The hosta plant is an excellent perennial plant for shade. It is also called plantain lily. It originates from the Orient and is liked for its attractive foliage. Hostas vary in height from 2 inches to 4 feet tall. They have tubular or trumpet-like flowers of white, lavender, blue, bluish bicolors and purple. Foliage colors are green, yellow, white and blue, and center or edge variegation is common. Most hostas spread slowly by underground stems. With the proper location and care, hosta can be a long-lived and valuable landscape plant in your garden.
