Companion Plants for Hostas

Companion Plants for Hostas

Go to our Hosta Online Store

A home without a hosta plant is like a home without a family. Family is everything, it is the bedrock of human civilization. Family is what distinguishes us from the animal kingdom. Known as Funkia in Japan, hosta plants not only play a big role when it comes to landscaping but are also known for their culinary uses.

This plant boasts of ovulated leaves that are broad and occupy an area of 2.5-45 centimeters in width. The beauty of this plant is that it is easy to grow and do well in summer gardens.

Hostas in Flower Beds

Just like a rainbow, you need all the seven colors to make it a perfect sight. I do admit that Hosta plants are beautiful, but did you know that you can add sugar to honey? All you need is the perfect recipe. The flowers to plant with hosta must compliment it rather than overshadow it. If you do this right, your garden will be capable of hosting a G7 meeting {No pun intended}.

If you are like me and are crazy about flowers beds, then I would recommend the Epimedium plant. This plant should be planted in spring when Hosta is still trying to bloom. The Epimedium is known for its decorative foliage that is mostly heart-shaped. Some communities consider this plant a plant of love.

This plant produces exemplary flowers that came in a wide variety of colors such as yellow, white and pink.

Hosta Garden Companions

If you had an exclusive view of the royal wedding that recently took place, then you must have noticed well-manicured gardens that are mind-boggling and well maintained. Though hosta plants are great for landscaping, you need other wonder plants to complement your garden. So what to plant with hosta? Astilibe.

The plant boasts of foliage that is dark green and produces flowers that come in a variety of colors such as violet, pink and red.

Other plants to grow together with hosta include; Dicentra and Ferns that are gracefully and boast of foliage that is finely-textured.

Hosta Flower Bed Designs

Once you have identified the right garden companions for your hosts, it is time to design your flower bed to make it attractive. If you are spoilt of choice and cannot decide which flower to use then a cottage garden is the best for you.

This design makes it possible for you to incorporate as many flowers as you wish. Other designs you could consider include a formal garden design and a wildlife garden design.

Landscaping with Hostas and Flowers

This is work that is mainly left to an expert as he will evaluate the best flowers that grow well with hosta and at the same time evaluate your landscaping needs. If you decide to do it yourself then you should try not to use too many bright colors as your landscape will look chaotic.

The most important factor is to know which type of hosta to use. Use one which best suits your needs and whose color compliments the surrounding.

Hosta Garden Ideas

  • Try planting Hostas next to walkways to beautify them. With good skills, you can turn your walk way into a paradise.
  • Avoid planting them in harsh sunlight.
  • Don’t forget to prune old foliage.
  • Plant in  well-drained soils.
