A bunch of them were there when I got there - I'm not a hosta person and never planted any. And I came from the land of sun, Lake County. So here is one group of them (I gave away about 30 to someone who was willing to dig them up). In front of them I put bergenia, mertensia, two layers of hardy geraniums, wintergreen, ornigothalem, and Scott's lilies. Overkill.

But I replaced them with oakleaf hydrangeas, and two two macrophyllas, one an Endless Summer that is finally beginning to perform after being a dud last year, and I moved a beautiful once blooming hydrangea, which I had to cut last year after moving it, so I'm waiting for its first bloom. I also put in four doublefile viburnums, and lots of ferns.

The people who lived here were not interested in ornamental gardening, so I had about sixty hostas. I prefer more of a mix of plants, so I was very happy to get rid of what I regarded as the excess (I know a lot of people love them and don't understand my attitude).
