Our Garden Design With Hosta and Ground Cover
Here are some of the Hosta and ground cover shade plants in my yard that are doing well. We’ve had a lot of rain lately making everything lush and green. Hosta are a popular shade plant and we planted a variety of them in the far corner of the front yard under three tall pine trees. They make a nice roadside garden design display that is easy for us to keep up.
Our Shady Garden Design
The long leggy greenery in the front are Day Lilies getting ready to bloom.
This large showy Hosta that is green in the center with lighter green trim is Unforgettable Hosta. They have a stalky lavender flower in late summer. Really some of these varieties look so much like the other I hesitate to name them. It is safe to say they are very similar so you can’t go wrong if you want this kind of Hosta.
The yellow leaf wintercreeper is Gold Euonymus fortunis. I keep it pruned here but it can grow large like a shrub.
Consider planting Pachysandra as a shady garden design. See more about our shady garden on the blog post.

I have some big beautiful host's but something is making a meal out of them little holes all in the leafs? Any idea what is causing this and how can I stop it?

I never tried it yet, but our neighbor puts egg shells at the base of the plant to keep bugs from chowing down on the leaves. We get slugs here that like to invade our Hosta and snails too. .If you put a ring of lime around your Hosta that keep the slugs away too.
