Cultural
information: The Hosta family is enormous...
containing over 100 cultivars, most of which are man made hybrids.
They can be found in several leaf shapes and sizes... as well
nearly every shade of green and variegated types with chartreuse,
cream, white or yellow margins. Most all of them will perform well
in the shady bog. They tolerate morning sun quite well... but mid
hot day sun will burn the foliage. Plant in fertile, boggy or
moist soils in partial to full shade.
