The most popular of all plants for shade, hostas are prized for their marvelous foliage. The thin spikes of lavender or white, trumpet-shaped flowers that appear for several weeks in summer are a bonus, and they are a favorite among hummingbirds.

This variety has spear-shaped leaves with somewhat fine veining; the green has a hint of chartreuse at this time of year.
