Hosta, Touch Of Class
Touch of Class Hosta brings a refined, polished elegance to the shaded border that is hard to achieve with any other plant. Its heart-shaped leaves have a distinctive character that catches the eye and holds it, creating an understated focal point in the partly to fully shaded garden. Plants form a tidy 12 to 18 inch mound that is compact enough for a smaller shade bed yet substantial enough to carry weight in a mixed planting alongside ferns, astilbes, and other classics of the woodland garden. Lavender-purple flower spikes rise in summer and attract butterflies, adding a welcome moment of movement to the typically serene shade planting. It is tolerant of black walnut—a meaningful asset for gardeners working under or near established trees—and asks only for moderate moisture and reasonable shade to perform at its best. A perennial that brings genuine sophistication to spaces where showy color isn’t an option.
