Hostas by Type

Hostas are very easy to grow in hardiness zones 3 through 9. See What's My Zone? to find out what zone you live in.

Some hostas are better in southern climates than others, although they tend to be smaller than the same cultivars grown in the northern climates. Fragrant hostas are better in the South because they have H. plantaginea in their genes somewhere. H. plantaginea varieties tolerate the heat better.
