I just bought these 2 varieties for my shade bed.

Hostas are another plant that are a challenge to kill.

Hardy, deciduous perennials for shaded gardens with large, bold leaves
often marked with contrasting colors. Leaves range in shape from round
to lance-shaped, and colors can be yellow to green to blue, often with
white, yellow or green marginal markings. Lavender or white flowers
grow on 2 foot stalks in early summer. Wonderful contrast when planted
with small-leaved plants, adding texture to the landscape. This
cultivar is slow-growing, with ovate to heart-shaped, wavy, glaucous,
bluish gray leaves, 16 inches long. Bears white flowers on 36 inches
stalks in midsummer. 36 inches tall, 4 feet wide.  

Important Info : Warning: snails and slugs love hosta. Bait 3 to 4
times a year.
