We’re All About Keeping the Peace With Our Labels for Hostas
At first thought, gardeners may describe hostas as convenient shade plants with lovely green shades of foliage. But, you can explore the many types of hostas and see that different hostas can be used to define or transform your garden into radically different atmospheres. Labels for hostas can give protection for your smallest hosta varieties that might be pared up next to their big hosta brothers or bold and flamboyant garden sisters. Whether large or small in size, garden markers will give equality in your landscape.
There are over 8,000 different cultivars of hostas. The tiniest of hostas could be hidden by the palm of your hand. These miniatures sprout only a few inches high and spread only four or six inches. The giants of the hosta world can rise to 60 inches tall and can spread to nearly 50 inches.
Small hostas can build a miniature world for a fairyland in your yard or can be just the right little plant to put in a garden border, in a rock garden or along a pavement’s edge. Labels for hostas can help point these miniatures out to the visitors in your garden who may not have noticed their little features and given them a second glance.
If you like to get “lost” in your yard and feel it surround you with lush greenery, you may enjoy the giant hostas. The giant hostas can bring the feel of a tropical jungle to your landscape in whatever state you live. With their gigantic leaves they can bring an almost prehistoric feel to your landscape—a place where young children may imagine dinosaurs poking their heads around the tall stalks and gargantuan leaves.
When hostas emerge from the ground in late spring, they poke through the soil in small points of leaves that will later unfurl. Between their pencil-point emergence and their elephant ear summer, the ground will need protection from the trampling of children’s and dog’s feet and sometimes even your forgetful steps. Labels for hostas will keep those tender shoots safe so your plant doesn’t have to repair itself and keep struggling to get above ground. With a marker in their midst, garden guests will be reminded to step carefully. It may also remind you to put a statue, decorative pot, or little fence in front of them to keep the dog from charging through that area in his daily pursuit of the evil squirrel (if only dogs could read garden markers).
Without labels for hostas, small varieties may be mistaken for weeds and even large varieties may go unseen and be trampled before they can emerge. We aren’t partial to any plant sizes at Kincaid Plant Markers. But we’re happy keeping the peace in your garden when it comes to finding a balance and fostering equality between the big and small. With equal representation in silver stainless steel garden markers with the same size name plates, each of your labels for hostas will offer equality and balance to the tall and small.
