Hostas: Hosta companion plants....what is in your hosta garden?, 1 by Noreaster

I've got a lot of ferns with my hosta- Japanese Painted, Lady in Red, Cinnamon and Ghost

Astilbe- Bridal Veil, Pink Lightning, Sprite, Key West
Solomon's Seal
Heuchera- Guardian Angel, Purple Petticoats, Dolce Peach Melba, Prince, Gypsy Dancer (my favorite, because it blooms little pink flowers all season)
Jack frost and variegated Brunnera
Actaea- Brunette, Atropurperea, Hillside Black Beauty

On another DG'ers recommendation, I just added a dwarf Aruncus, "Misty Lace", which I'm excited about...it's supposed to have longer lasting flowers than astilbe...I will take some pics when it blooms, which will be in the next few weeks

Lily of the Valley, but have that separated by a barrier

one little primula with chartreuse flowers ("Francesca"?), and I need to get a few more of those

Canadian wild ginger and sweet woodruff groundcovers

Hakone grass- the chartreuse one, and the mid-green one with the white stripe

that's all I can think of...my favorite combo is this one, with the ferns and Love Pat, and Bridal Veil astilbe
