There are few perennials as reliable as hostas. Hundreds of varieties have been developed, some miniatures with elongated leaves, others giants with broad crinkled leaves. They all have rosette growth and the leaves always have smooth edges. The leaves are solid or variegated, in shades of green, bluish, white, or gold. The trumpet-shaped flowers, white or lavender, are presented on spikes. Some varieties even emit an intoxicating fragrance. See selection in store
