HOSTAS<br />
Hosta - Funkia - Liliaceae - Plantain Lily - These perennials have a<br />
tremendous leaf color, size and texture, enhanced by bell-shaped fragrant<br />
blooms of lavender, white, blue and purple. Most varieties should be<br />
planted in shade or filtered light, however some can also be situated in a<br />
sunny location. In order to keep <strong>the</strong> slugs off <strong>the</strong> leaves, use 1 T. of liquid<br />
household ammonia to 1 gallon of water on a weekly basis. Ammonia is<br />
nitrogen and fertilizes <strong>the</strong> plants at <strong>the</strong> same time you treat for those<br />
slimy creatures. Hostas are hardy from -30°F. to -40°F. They grow from<br />
6 inches (dwarf) to 5 feet (giant), and take approximately one year to<br />
establish <strong>the</strong>mselves. They do not have to be dug, and can be used in<br />
fresh flower arrangements. gallon $12.50.<br />
