Hosta Types | Selecting and Growing Hostas | Prairie Yard & Garden 3703

Hostas are a popular type of perennial plant that are loved for their lush foliage and ability to thrive in shade. There are many different types of hostas, each with their own unique leaf shape, color, and growth habit.
Jackie Froemming, Crow Wing County Extension Educator, shares the differences between plants. Some common leaf shapes for hostas include heart-shaped, lance-shaped, oval, and round. The leaves can be smooth or textured, and may be variegated with different shades of green, yellow, or white.

Histas are very invasive. I dont know where they came from, but they have taken over my yard.

[@mattieburton9896]

I am glad to hear I am not the only one suffering that problem! They just keep showing up in my woodland garden.

[@rafael2661]

Yep, they are very invasive. They took over my front yard where I took them out of, I placed them out back and realize I can split them up and cover a hillside. It will stay green all summer, beats having to fight with crabgrass and gives you a little bit more of a tropical feel 🎉
