12 Types Of Variegated Hosta To Plant In Your Yard

Hostas are often grown as a ground cover. They are perfect for keeping weeds at bay and are easy to propagate by dividing the root clumps. While hostas are generally easy to care for, you might need to control snails and slugs because they are common pests that love to chew holes in hosta leaves. Many hostas have impressive two-toned variegated foliage that can be patterned, streaked, or bordered with a lighter or darker color. If you want to create a dramatic impact in your garden, combining variegated hostas with non-variegated varieties is a good option.
