Blue Cadet has a great mounding shape and medium sized. Do you have SHADE?

Yes, I have shade. I don't want to plant them in the ground because of the slugs, And I don't have enough room for them where the shade is.

Mom of 003,are you in for a big surprise,when it comes to hostas! There used to be a joke about them saying" Which hosta do you have,the green,or the variegated?" That statement is so far wrong,that it's funny!! Welcome,and yes you can grow hostas very well in pots. I don't grow a lot of them that way,but I have a lot of shade,and I prefer gardening in the woods. Phil

All but a few of my hostas are in pots. I cannot fight the tree roots, and hostas are very happy in containers!
I love moving them around to suit my mood.
Have fun and you will catch "hosta fever" too.
