Day 302: Hostas are generally considered a foliage plant, but their blossoms are certainly worth mention. Most are white or lavender, although there are a few varieties which verge on purple or magenta. They are borne on scapes (stalks) which rises a foot or more above the leaves. Foliage may be green, grey-green or green patterned with yellow or white. Variegated species tend to display the best color when grown in partial shade. Don't dismiss Hostas from consideration for a "flower" bed! They will reward you doubly.
