Hostas: Hosta x 'Wide Brim'

description for "Hostas: Hosta x 'Wide Brim'"

'Wide Brim' is just that with large, rich green leaves with irregular margins of creamy yellow. Flowers tilt upwards and can reach 36 inches. The usefulness of this plant cannot be overstated. It is the epitome of low-maintenance gardening. Hostas prefer a humus rich soil that will provide enough moisture in the dry months. The variegated types will do better in partial shade rather than dense shade. The foliage is very striking throughout the growing season. Hostas are often used as a groundcover because they are so carefree, decorative and so much variety is available.
