Hosta sieboldiana, a perennial shade plant
Hosta is amazing plants and hardy and herbaceous perennials that will add color and structure to your outdoor space, especially if you have garden borders. This plant is best suited to clay or loamy soils, so it will do well in sheltered spots facing North, but also East and West.
Their leaves are so delightfully variegated and colored, that they’re oftentimes used for flower bouquets too. As you will find out, some types will offer you bell-shaped flowers in the summer months. Please note that this plant requires moist but well-drained soil. Plus, hostas love staying in the shade, and they need only a bit of sun to bring on the color in their leaves.
I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?
