Hostas are one of my favorite shade plants. There are about 23-45 specieces in the family of Asparafgaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. They are native to northeast Asia. Hosta are perennial plants growing from stolons, with broad leaves varying widely in size. There are numerous cultivars that can range from light green to dark green, yellow green and a few have a blue hue. There are variegated plants of whte and green. The white flowers grow on long stalks. Hostas are easy to transplant and I have transplanted hostas to many of the shady areas in my garden. At my last count of hostas, I have over 50 plants.
