Hosta 'Sum and Substance' in a Pot


 

Hosta is the number one selling species of herbaceous perennials in the U.S. today.  As the trees in our landscapes increase in size, more and more gardeners find themselves working in an environment dominated by shade.

This site is devoted to all things associated with the "Queen of the Shade", the Hosta. Thanks to Don Rawson, Past-President of the West Michigan Hosta Society, for creating this site. He gathered a lot of good information to share with other gardeners. Don turned the site over to us so he can devote more time to his own Hosta Garden.

We hope to expand the content of this site to serve as a primary source for information about the genus Hosta. However, we will also expand the scope to include all types of shade tolerant plants that may be used in the home landscape.

If you have any comments, suggestions or recommended sites to add to our listings, please contact us. There are forms and email buttons on most pages. Just fill one out and hit the submit button.

Thanks for your help!
