Hosta or plantain lilies. These plants originate from Asia and for centuries have been used in Japanese garden architecture for its beauty. Hostas are currently the most popular perennial in the U.S. with literally thousands (I came across 6,000!) of varieties that an entire garden could be devoted to growing this alone! Hostas are shade-tolerant, low maintenance, quite forgiving, incredibly elegant, and quite possibly habit-forming. We love them at The Cottage but they are a magnet for the banana slugs so keep it baited.
