Hosta Hillside

Hosta Hillside is exactly what it sounds like.

A slope planted with hosta in the Tecumseh area - shade-loving leaves stacked in layered greens, with occasional bloom spikes rising in midsummer.

It's the kind of spot that does its best work when you just stand there for a minute. The texture shifts as you move through, broad blue-green leaves giving way to variegated whites and yellows.

Quiet, planted, low-key. Bring a camera if you like green-on-green compositions, or just walk past and let the leaves do their thing.
