Hostas are not what you might call exotic or tropical but they are architectural. I probably have 30 or so different varieties but stupidly I never took the trouble to properly label most of them.
They are, of course, great plants for shade but can also be planted in less shaded areas. They combine very well with ferns and, I find, Heucheras.
Slug and snail damage is a great problem but there is plenty of advice on how to deter these critters if you don’t like using slug pellets. Some varieties seem less prone to slugs and I’ve found ‘Sum & Substance’ to be particularly resistant.
The photo above is of one of my favourites: Hosta ‘Frances Williams’. Its large puckered variegated leaves look really good and this plant now makes a sizeable clump. It grows amongst the roots of a very large tree in the company of ferns, Heucheras, Ligularia dentata 'Desdemona', Macleaya cordata and Geranium macrorrhizum.
