🌿 Hosta – Shade-Loving Foliage Favorite
Hosta spp.
Bold Texture for Shady Spaces
🌿 Grown as a perennial in cooler zones, often an annual or seasonal in South Florida
Hostas are prized for their large, textured leaves in stunning shades of green, white-variegated, and gold/yellow. Though not long-lived in South Florida’s heat, they make excellent seasonal accents in shady beds, borders, or containers.
🌸 Occasional summer blooms on tall stalks
🪴 Great for part shade spots, tropical understories & containers
