Some leaves are smooth and shiny. Some are very corrugated. Others are cupped, or turn up along the edges, and still others have undulating or wavy margins. They are hardy in USDA zones 3-9. Let's not forget the most stunning feature of Hostas, their colorful foliage.
Hosta foliage exhibits almost every color except red.
There are of course numerous shades of green, while some leaves are bright gold, and Hostas are among the few plants that exhibit such a wide range of blue foliage. The most notable feature about Hostas are their highly variegated leaves. These patterns come in a wide array of combinations of the above mentioned leaf colors as well as white variegation patterns. I hope your cyber-visit to The Hosta Patch is an enjoyable one.
