General Information
It is difficult to find a garden that is without this versatile East Asian native. Lush foliage in diverse colors, heights, and textures, coupled with its ability to excel in deep shade have captured gardener's hearts everywhere. Good selection for the coldest areas (zones 3 & 4), good selection for Gulf states: zones 8,9, & 10.

Plant Care
Deadheading will improve the appearance of Hosta, but birds love the seeds, and some Hosta will self sow, but not usually true to the parent. Remove soupy frozen foliage in the late fall or early spring.
