Some of the best Hostas for substance, are species like rupifraga and
tardiflora. I especially like tardiflora, but it will not bloom untill
almost frost here. That is why you should consider using the Tardianas.
As they are a cross between tardiflora and seboldiana, you can access
some of the tardiflora genitics easly that way.
