[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's on the north side of the house and near a big tree so it gets very little sun. It's about 2 to 3 feet wide and the length of the garage. I planted a few [b]hostas but they did not get large[/b]. When the hostas die back, it's just bald there except for moss.[/quote] Hostas (there are thousands of types) can be miniature or five feet across (Guacamole, Sum & Substance, Stained Glass, etc.). SO some hostas simply will not get as large as you may like because you chose the wrong hosta. Also, while many hostas like shade, many of them, most of the lighter colored ones, do well in filtered and sunlit spots - I would suggest you try hostas again - when they died back as they will during winter, then put in some winter color like pansies. Or add in some evergreen plants with the hostas.[/quote]
