How many of you are into gardening? For those of you who are…do you enjoy flower gardens, vegetable gardens or both? I’m a gardening fanatic now that we have our own home and I’ve been really educating myself on flowers, bushes, trees, veggies and fruits. Every season we add new plants in our garden and around our property.
Two years ago I introduced you all to Jung and featured a wonderful Blueberry Bush that I received for review. We planted that blueberry bush back then and I’m happy to report to you…that it’s doing fabulous! Every year it gets bigger and we get more & more blueberries off of it.
Jung sent me 3 complimentary Hosta Plants to review for you this gardening season and I’m excited to tell you about them today. What’s great about Hosta plants is that they come back year after year! In addition, you can grow them in sunny, partly sunny and/or partly shady areas around your property.
We got one of the Minuteman Hosta plants and what I love about this particular one is the color. It’s a nice dark blue-green color with white accented cupped leaves. It’s a hardy plant that is slug-resistant and it can grow up to 20″ tall. During the mid-summer season you’ll see pale lavender flowers appear. It can be grown in zones 3 to 9 which is most of the United States. When it comes to planting, you’ll want to plant them in the spring and/or fall. They come shipped in a pot and guess what? These plants can attract hummingbirds to your garden!
We also received one of the Empress Wu Hosta plants which may be the largest Hosta in the world. Let’s just put it this way, it’s the largest that I’ve personally seen. The leaves can get up to 18″ in size and are a pretty dark green color. The plants are slug-resistant and can grow up to 4 feet tall by 6 feet wide. You’ll want to find a nice space in your yard or garden for the big boy to grow! During the early to mid-summer season, you’ll notice some violet colored flowers emerging from the top. Just like the first variety, it can attract hummingbirds too!
Finally, we received the Frances Williams Hosta to plant too! I’m familiar with this variety and have 2-3 of them around the back of the house that have been there for years. The foliage is a deep blue-green color with a golden outer edge. These plants can grow up to 24″ high by 40″ wide. Of course, growth size will depend on where you plant them and how well you take care of them. During the mid-summer season you’ll see white flowers appear above the foliage. Just like the first two, if you love hummingbirds (like me) this one can attract them too!
If you’re a newbie gardener or an experienced gardener, these Hosta plants are for you! We all have areas in our yard or garden that needs some help. What I love about Hosta plants is that I can plant them in shady areas or partly shaded areas and they grow just fine!
When you first get them…you’ll want to prepare your soil and plant them according to directions. You’ll then water them immediately after planting. During the first 2-3 weeks, I like to water my new plants 2-3 times a week. After that, I’ll water them if we haven’t had rainfall for a few days. Watering schedules will depend on your area and the type of weather you’re receiving. Basically though, these are no mess and no fuss type of gardening plants!
