Hostas and companion plants for zone 4

Hostas and companion plants for zone 4

Hi everyone. I finally got around to doing a film on my Hostas and shade plants. I garden in a zone 4 and most of my shade gardens get at least 4 hours of sun. I don’t know the names of all my hostas but I do know a few. I have gotten a lot of my recent Hostas from an online company, which I will list down below and have learned a lot from a YouTube channel that I will also list down below. Hope you enjoy!

Hosta videos youtube channel Funkie Gardens (Marine on St. Croix, MN).
I tried posting a link but it wasn’t working. Hope you can find these videos by the title. Lots of information in these videos on hostas. Definitely worth watching

    โ€œMidas Touchโ€ is a yellow-leaved hosta that tolerates sun better than most other yellow hostas. It gets to be 3.5 feet wide.

    Hi Susie your hostas still looks good – all my hostas the deer ate them all looks so sad nothing left. Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful garden.

    Crown vetch was the worst! Lol. It took me several years to eradicate from my gardens. It spread like crazy and had a very deep root system.

    Thank you, thank you! Learned so much from your commentary. Loved it๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ

    I can only dream of having a garden half as beautiful as you have created! I love my hostas. The Rainbow’s End is on my list now! Gorgeous. I’ve notice the blue hosta grows at a much slower rate

    If you like heuchera, try green spice, you won’t be disappointed, it is very hardy, mounded habit, and does well in my 5b zone….great video…TFS

    Love your tour and information. Great information always on the ground covers. You have saved me a lot of heartache in the future by knowing which ground covers are too invasive.

    Thanks for the very good and detailed Hosta review๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

    Your hostas get 6 hrs of sun and arenโ€™t burnt up? Wow mine are on the East side of house and get morning sun and are all burned up



  16. Carolyn Mareck on June 23, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    Iโ€™m fortunate I live half an hour from NHhosta! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜

    Can you share your problems with the Empress Wu hasta? Thank you.

    Beautiful hostas!! Love the variegated ones! Ill have to look for those.. I have 4 large maples in the back and have alot room for shade plants. I struggle planting under them as well because of the roots. I have very dry full shade areas so its hard to find plants that will work. Do you know of any that would grow well in dry shade? Thanks for the tour! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฟ

    I also like NH Hostas and also order when I canโ€™t find something I want locally. โค๏ธ

    Thank you for the videos. I enjoy all of your videos, and wait for next one. Empress Wu, what a disappointing plant. The price I paid, and the drama to get it was nor worth. Blue Angel looks much better. Thanks for showing your hostas.



  21. Dinora Portillo on June 23, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    I love hostas yours are beautiful the blue hosta is my favorite



  22. Truth of the matter on June 23, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    I cannot imagine the cleanup you have before with the hostas at the end of season.



  23. Ames Acres on June 23, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    Great garden tour. Loved watching it on a midwest snowy day LOL !! Love your gardens !!

    Alliums keep bunnies away as they hate the smell. Liquid fence helps and wonโ€™t hurt plants or animals ๐Ÿ™‚
