With over 200 photographs and 170 species and cultivars described, Hostas is a beautiful introduction to this hardy, versatile perennial. The infinite variety of leaf colour, size and texture combined with their ease of cultivation, makes hostas that perfect plant for gardens of all sizes and types. Hostas are grown for their wonderful foliage, which, depending on the species or cultivar, can be blue, green, yellow or variegated in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and textures. They are perennial plants, appearing in early spring and disappearing in late fall, providing a startling range of colour through the seasons, sometimes on the same plant. Many hostas also produce lovely flowers, in colours ranging from white to pale lavenders and blue-purples. This variety makes hostas a wonderful addition to the gardener's palette and they have many landscaping uses. Hostas describes a range of cultivars to use in a mixed perennial border, or for a woodland setting, in a difficult shady site, in a white garden, or to support a formal design. Whether the garden is small or large, a courtyard or container, there is a hosta or hostas to suit. A list of suitable companion plants, from trees to bulbs, is also provided to enhance and complement the hosta planting. This superbly illustrated book describes over 170 hosta species and cultivars and covers their discovery and development, cultivation and propagation. For easy reference, all the species and varieties mentioned in the book are listed in a catalogue at the back, giving details of leaf and flower colour and plant size.
