Ask some friends (in the spring--it is probably too late this year, with the heat and all) to divide their hostas and give you their extras. Theirs need some thinning from time to time, and you will benefit. This procedure works well with a number of other perennials, too, and in fact two friends shared their overflow with me of about a dozen different perennial plants with bulb-like reproduction, and I filled the front area of my apartment. Easy care annuals that go well with shade plants are impatiens. Hope that helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408196951537893399noreply@blogger.com
