Hosta is a genus of 70 species of shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage. The dense basal leaves are of various shapes and colors and deeply veined. Small bell-like flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in late spring or summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
