Rainbows End is named for the shiny bright green/golden coloration that pops in a shade garden. Perhaps it gives the impression of the gold found at the end of a rainbow, but even if it doesn't, we think it can provide eye-drawing color to the darker parts of your garden. Paired with darker colors, Rainbows End can be used to draw the eye, creating a golden pathway of color that might lead the observer to a specimen tree, hardscape feature or statue. Coming in as around 20 inches wide and a foot tall its medium size keeps it versatile, but also substantial enough to make an impact in the garden. Hostas are a popular perennial due to their flexibility and tolerance of many types of sunlight, but are best known for their success in shade. They are a great plant for supporting the showier members of your garden collective, but can offer many striking features in their own right. Hostas come in thousands of different varieties and many distinct shapes and colors. There is truly a hosta for every occasion or situation. They are hardy plants that can thrive in pristine and urban environments alike. Pair with Coral Bells for an excellent variety of shade tolerant low lying plants for walkways, borders and blending or joining garden elements. Photo Credit: Walters Gardens
