Hostas are a topnotch groundcover for shady areas. Plant them on a tough-to-mow hillside to create a lovely, carefree garden bed.
If you have a steep slope that water runs down so quickly the soil can't absorb moisture, try breaking up the hill with rocks or other barriers. It will slow the flow of water.
Use Variegated Varieties
'Patriot' hosta, with its wide white leaf edges, is standout in any planting. But it really shines paired with nonvariegated selections. Jane also mixed in delicate maidenhair fern and Corydalis for texture.
Jane uses containers to add layers of color, such as in this hanging planter filled with Diamond Frost Euphorbia and blue lobelia.

Add interest to your landscape by using annuals in interesting ways. Here, 'Limon' jewels of opar creates a lovely groundcover. It's a self-seeder, so Jane can let it reappear on its own year after year. Or, because it's an annual, she can mulch over it and plant something else.
