what grows best with hosta palnts?

Answer 1

ferns, heuchera, heucherella, astillbe, lungwort, creeping jenny, bleeding hearts etc. You can also mix in some annuals like impatiens and coleus for extra color.

There are tons of different types of hostas in a WIDE range of colors. You could probably have a very colorful garden with hostas alone.

Answer 2

Redneckgardendiva mentioned most of the best perennials. Toad lilies, Trillium, Solomon's Seal are a few more esoteric ones that are worth looking for. For shrubs, hostas go wonderfully with hydrangeas, Pieris japonica, rhododendron, azalea, mountain laurel, camellias.

I have a bold blue-grey Krossa Regal hosta that is set off nicely by the dark glossy green camellia behind it, and the lacy pale green Lady Fern (Athyrium felix-femina) next to it. It's nice to have some backbone shrubs and evergreens along with the hostas, or the garden will look bare during the winter.

Answer 3

Coleus gives good color variance with the leaves. Any ground cover. Ferns as well. Hostas like full to partial shade, so anything shade loving will do.

Answer 4

hmm...anything shade loving I suppose. If it were me Id grow some ornamental ginger! LOL, well that is what I plan on doing soon anyway. It depends on what zone you are in also.

Just look up other shade loving plants. Im sure you'll find something you like.
