HOSTAS
Hosta - Funkia - Liliaceae - Plantain Lily - These perennials have a
tremendous leaf color, size and texture, enhanced by bell-shaped fragrant
blooms of lavender, white, blue and purple. Most varieties should be
planted in shade or filtered light, however some can also be situated in a
sunny location. In order to keep the slugs off the leaves, use 1 T. of liquid
household ammonia to 1 gallon of water on a weekly basis. Ammonia is
nitrogen and fertilizes the plants at the same time you treat for those
slimy creatures. Hostas are hardy from -30°F. to -40°F. They grow from
6 inches (dwarf) to 5 feet (giant), and take approximately one year to
establish themselves. They do not have to be dug, and can be used in
fresh flower arrangements. gallon $12.50.
