types of hostas for shade
If you’re searching for elegant, low-maintenance foliage plants to brighten up your shaded borders, there are many outstanding types of hostas for shade to choose from. Hostas have become a classic favourite for New Zealand gardeners thanks to their lush leaves, shade tolerance, and wide variety of forms and colours. Whether you’re looking to create a textured ground cover, edge your garden paths, or add interest in containers, hostas are a versatile solution for tackling shady sites where other perennials falter.
