Hosta
Hostas are the go-to perennial for shady gardens – and for good reason. They are tough, hardy and will flourish for years with little or no attention. Hosta foliage colors range from creamy white through gold, lime green, medium green and blue-green. Mnay varieties have variegated leaves and most produce white or lavender flowers in summer. Heights range from 4″ to 36″ tall.

Heuchera
Plant breeders have had a field day with the genus Heuchera, also known as coral bells. There seems to be no end to the variations in leaf color;: silvery, burgundy, purple-black, chartreuse, salmon and rusty orange. With Heuchera, it’s the foliage that provides the visual excitement, though some varieties also have showy flowers on tall, slender stems 8″ to 15″ tall.

  1. Danielle LeAnne Jones. You might check this out for your question you asked yesterday about plants and shrubs you don’t need to redo every year

  2. I absolutely am put off by these articles that tease you into believing they will really list what they say they will. Only to discover you are routed to a website. This makes me not want to explore more. Be honest. Produce what you are offering. You can’t do that? Then how can I trust your plants and information is reliable. I hope you can see my point. Please don’t do this anymore, honest advertising is good advertising. Trickery is not.

  3. I devided two pink astilbe into 10 plants yesterday and replanted, love free plants!!!!! Easy Pease just handle gently after you wash all the soil off roots they pull apart quite easily.
