Landscaping with Hostas

1. Boost Curb Appeal

Prized with robust, attractive, and heart-shaped blue-green foliage, hostas can highlight your landscape with their immense beauty. Planting them outside your house in the front garden is an excellent idea to boost the curb appeal.

2. Line A Walkway Or Path

Select medium or low-growing hostas as an edging plant for pathways. As hostas are evergreen perennial, they keep their show of attractive foliage for most of the year.

3. Make Them A Focal Point

A single hosta can be more attractive than a whole border. Choose large-leaf varieties like Blue Hawaii, Gentle Giant, T Rex, and Wu-La-la, as they can create more drama if used as ‘thriller’ grow them in big planters and tubs.

4. Plant Them On A Front Porch

You can grow hostas on your front porch in an area that receives some shade. Planting them in tall planters is also an option to create a statement.

5. Group them Together By Growing In Containers

Grow hostas in decorative pots, place them in your patio, display them in mixed varieties in containers, or keep one alone in a pot. Hostas also look well with colorful annuals and other foliage plants.

6. Grow Them In Borders

If you have a mini garden pond or a water feature, then displaying hostas there will add a lot of appeal to the overall look of your yard!

10. Put Them In A Vase

You can use hostas in floral arrangements with other cut flowers. You can also grow them in water. They become a nice tabletop centerpiece!

11. Create A Hosta Garden With Other Plants

If you want to add a pop of color to your garden, then mixing hydrangeas with hostas will be an amazing idea! The saturated colors of the flowers will match the variegated foliage of the hostas perfectly! You can also try plants with similar growing requirements.
