When we talk about the selection of hostas for your garden, it’s more than colours and textures. Hostas are perfect for every shade garden.
Whether you are looking for a miniature hosta to fill up a container garden, or a large hosta to fill in your front garden, we have some magnificent varieties for you.
Perennials are the foundation of great garden design. They bring a vibrant display of colours, contrast, and texture your space. By mixing foliage plants with flowering plants, you’ll have an eye-catching garden from spring to fall.
While annuals add quick colour for the season, they only last one year. On the other hand, perennials return year after year, helping you make the most of your gardening budget.
Pollinators rely on nectar-rich foods; you can help them by planting flowering perennials in your outdoor space. Bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects will appreciate visiting your garden if you grow a blend of fragrances, colours, and heights for them to enjoy.
Nothing beats the variety of colours, textures, and height that hostas can bring to a shade garden.
This lush, foliage dense perennial has captured the eyes of gardeners and landscape designers for many generations. The variability of hostas is endless. Their foliage will give your garden splashes of green (Royal Standard), blue (Humpback Whale), yellow (August Moon), white (Minuteman) and just about any combination of any, or all of these, on just one plant!
There are miniature versions (School Mouse, Church Mouse, Sun Mouse) which make great additions to container gardens and small spaces. There are medium-sized plants (Popcorn, Wheee!, Hudson’s Bay, Paradigm) if you are looking to fill an area under a shade tree or back corner of your yard.
Do you have a large space to fill? Try planting a specimen sized selection (Krossa Regal, Earth Angel, Wu-La-La) to fill the void.
At Sheridan Nurseries, we grow over 60 different varieties of hosta. From the tiny Pandora’s Box (which only grows to 10 cm tall) to magnificent Empress Wu (which grows to an impressive 90 cm+ tall).
