Hostas are very shade tolerant and have white to violet bell-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer. They like to be planted in moist, well-drained soil.
When selecting non-invasive plants for your garden, be sure to look for those that are suitable for your location, including moisture requirements, hardiness zone, and avoidance of known bear attractants among other factors.
