Hostas are a popular garden plant that thrive in shade and part-shade. Hosta is a clump-forming plant that grows from rhizomatous roots and produces blooms on long stalks that extend well above the clumping foliage in late spring or summer. Hostas are extremely easy to care for and propagate.

Hosta plants can be grown from seed, which can be sown indoors under normal house conditions, with temperatures running 60-70°F, using a "peaty" starter mix and lightly covering the seed with peat moss. The seed should be kept moist but not saturated until germination.

For the best care of hostas, they should be planted in rich organic soil with a slightly acidic pH. Despite their almost tropical look, hostas are rugged and once established, they tolerate almost any soil and will grow for years. When discussing growing hostas, drainage is most important. When newly planted, the roots should be kept moist, not wet, and once established, hosta plants are very tolerant of summer drought.

Some gardeners clip off the flower stalks when they appear, though other growers recognize the value of the white or purple flowers to bees and other pollinators. If the flowers are allowed to bloom, the stalks should be clipped off after the flowers have faded.

Hostas prefer part shade to full shade, evenly moist, organically rich, well-drained soil, and should be spaced 1 to 5 feet apart. The soil should be kept moist but not wet, and proper feeding is important.

Great companion plants for hostas include coral bells, tulips, and astilbes. Coral bells and hostas share similar growing condition preferences, and the small flowers the coral bell produces can help make your shade garden more spectacular. Tulips can provide color in the spring before the hosta leaves fill in, and astilbes can add stunning flowers to the shade garden when paired with hostas, especially when interspersed with dwarf hostas in front of them and larger hostas behind them.

Hostas can be grown in hardiness zones 3-9, and can be sown from seed, with germination usually occurring within 4-5 weeks. If germination does not occur, the container can be placed inside a zip-lock bag and refrigerated for 4 weeks.

Hostas can have blossoms that are white, cream, pink, pale blue, lavender, or purple, and a few cultivars even have red or yellow flowers. They languish in the hot afternoon sun, so a shady landscape will provide them with the right conditions.
