How to Use Hostas in Garden Design: Plant IDs

fg205 design hostas IDs main thumb 1x1 – TodayHeadline


In How to Use Hostas in Garden Design, home gardener Delphia Johnstone introduced us to her lush Zone 7b North Vancouver garden. The garden has been three decades in the making and was started from a practically blank canvas. Delphia wanted her garden to be an oasis—an escape from the world—and therefore tried to create a calm and soothing color palette of plants with soft yellow, blue, green, and white foliage. Hostas (Hosta spp. and cvs., Zones 3–8) were a natural fit for this design scheme. First, Delphia made some structural changes so that her garden would be more hospitable to growing hostas. Then she found the best location for each of them to take center stage. Below, we break down the plants in two areas of Delphia’s garden. One is a shot of her sunny lawn and surrounding plantings, in which more-structural evergreen plants are at the forefront. The second is a secluded nook in a shadier part of the garden where hostas are the stars. For more plants from Delphia’s garden, check out some of her all-time favorite hostas.
