Hosta Plants for Sale - Shade Garden Favorites

Transform your shade garden with hosta plants from Nature Hills Nursery. These reliable perennials thrive where other plants struggle, offering stunning foliage from spring through fall in zones 3-9.

Blue and green variegated hosta plants growing in a shaded garden setting

Whether you need miniature hostas for containers (under 6" tall) or giant statement plants like Empress Wu (reaching 4 feet), we have the perfect size for your space. Browse blue hostas for cool-toned gardens, gold hostas for bright pops of color, or classic variegated varieties with striking leaf patterns.

Popular varieties include Blue Angel for dramatic blue foliage, Sum and Substance for sun tolerance, and Patriot for crisp white-edged leaves. Many hostas even produce fragrant flowers in shades of white, lavender, and purple from late spring through summer.

Hostas pair beautifully with shade-loving companions like coral bells (Heuchera), astilbe, ferns, and hydrangeas. They're also excellent for containers, borders, and ground cover applications. Looking for pest-resistant options? Thick-leaved varieties like Big Daddy offer better slug resistance, while no hosta is truly deer-proof, tougher varieties are less appealing to wildlife.

Use our USDA zone filters to find hostas perfect for your climate, or browse by sun exposure, size, and color to discover your ideal varieties.

Shop by category:

  • Cold-Hardy Hostas (Zones 3-4)
  • Heat-Tolerant Hostas (Zone 9)
  • Purple Hostas
  • White Hostas

FAQ's for Buying Hostas Online

Do hostas like sun or shade?
Most hostas thrive in partial shade with morning sun and afternoon shade. However, sun tolerance varies by variety. Gold and fragrant hostas (like Sum and Substance, Guacamole, and varieties with Hosta plantaginea genetics) can handle 4-6 hours of direct sun. Blue hostas prefer more shade since their waxy blue coating degrades in intense heat and sun. For best results, provide consistent moisture if planting in sunnier locations.

How big do hostas get?
Hostas range dramatically in size from 4-inch miniatures to 4-foot giants. They're classified into five official categories: Miniature (under 6" tall like Blue Mouse Ears and Mini Skirt), Small/Dwarf (7-10" tall, perfect for borders and containers), Medium (11-18" tall, the most common size), Large (19-28" tall like Blue Angel and Sagae), and Giant (28"+ tall, with Empress Wu reaching 40"T x 70"W). Most hostas reach mature size in 3-5 years.

Are hostas deer and slug resistant?
While no hosta is completely deer-proof, thick-leaved varieties are less palatable to wildlife. For slug resistance, choose hostas with thicker, more textured leaves like Big Daddy, Sum and Substance, Brother Stefan, and other blue or heavily substanced varieties. Thin-leaved hostas are more susceptible to both pests. Proper garden hygiene and morning watering (not evening) can also reduce slug damage.

What zones do hostas grow in?

Hostas are incredibly hardy perennials that thrive in USDA zones 3-9, making them suitable for most of the United States. Cold-hardy varieties handle zone 3 winters (down to -40°F), while heat-tolerant varieties flourish in zone 9. Most varieties prefer zones 4-8. Use our zone filters to find hostas perfect for your climate.

When should I plant hostas?
The best times to plant hostas are early spring (as new shoots emerge) or fall (September-October). Spring planting allows roots to establish before summer heat, while fall planting takes advantage of cooler temperatures and consistent moisture. Avoid planting during peak summer heat. Hostas can also be divided every 3-4 years in spring or fall to propagate or control their spread.
