I have some large shady areas wher I use hostas to fill in and try to control weeds. I started with a few Lancifolia types then started looking at what was available and got hooked in to collecting a few. I'm still looking for 'Great Expectations' and a few others that I haven't found at a "reasonable" price yet <G>
