Hostas: The Art of Using One Type and Making It Look Different
The hosta, though only flowers once in mid-to-late season, offers beautiful foliage and interest from spring through fall. Also its fairly drought resistant and easy care. Plus there is rarely a shortage of new plants available if you rotate dividing. Just one, three-year-old hosta can yield at least 10 new plants when divided.

This hosta is in a part sun garden mixed with a variety of other plants.
Many people mix there hostas with ground covers. Hostas seem to hold there own in these situations,
Creating a 'wave' of hostas is fairly easy, just allow approx. 3 years to get the full effect.

I have hosta's that belonged to my Mother (no idea how old they are) but they are knee high and are in full bloom and just keep getting bigger. Now i need to reduce them and hate to do I but they continue coming farther out n the yard. They are nx to the garage, I have never done anything to them. They just keep growing but I can't say that for any others I have ever planted. Only have 2 variegated ones left after planting about 12.

Nice ideas! "There" needs to be changed to the possessive "their" in both instances on photo #2.
