Shady patios can be beautified with our three container plants that will not only thrive but also provide color that is often lacking in shade garden collections. The Astilbe and Hosta are true perennials that not only come back year after year, but they will also live a very long time.
Astilbe bear showy pink, plume-like flowers on tall, stiff stalks above fern-like, glossy foliage. Hosta’s large, bold leaves have various shapes. Some leaves have deep green centers and creamy white margins that turn snowy white with age, and others have light green leaf centers that turn gold toward early summer Mauve or pale lavender funnel-shaped flowers bloom atop long scapes in mid-summer

Fill the desired container approximately ¾ full of good potting soil. Place the Astilbe bulbs at least 1″ apart and the Hosta roots into the soil with the roots facing down and the eyes or growing points facing upward on opposite sides of each other in the pot. Cover with at least ½” of soil and press down firmly. Water thoroughly and keep soil moist throughout the growing season. After the flowers bloom, leave the foliage in place until it turns yellow and dies off.
