Hostas

Most plants that thrive in dark places are themselves dark. Not hostas—they display many shapes, sizes, and shades of greens, blues, and yellows, and make garden statements ranging from subtle and delicate to strikingly bold. Use the full range of hostas to provide dramatic architectural and sculptural interest to any shady space. A list of recommended species and cultivars for every problem area comes with a guide to all aspects of cultivation and care

My first hosta book, picked up on a whim at the library. Based mostly from a British perspective, it covers the plant's history and many variations of hostas, as well as how they are grown in different parts of the world. It's somewhat outdated, but it's packed with info. and has lots of gorgeous pix. It just whets my appetite for more!
