Hosta Leaves Make A Beautiful Floral Arrangement

Even with their bold leaves hostas aren't always recognized as the most beautiful plants in a garden. Bring their rich leaves indoors and add brilliance to your home decor.

To me Hostas are just magnificent to watch grow and truly captivating as they flourish. With their varied sizes, colors, leaf shapes, and textures, they create an enchanting garden display. The moment their tubular flowers blossom, you witness nature's brilliance: bees buzzing around and hummingbirds gracefully dancing while enjoying the delightful nectar that Hostas offer. When my beloved Hosta plants thrive, I trim the lower leaves and create a beautiful indoor arrangement. Lasting up to 3 weeks, this floral display reciprocates their unique beauty as you admire it.

4 Simple Steps To Create A Brilliant Hosta Floral Arrangement.

1.Trimming Your Hosta

Always use a good set of garden clippers to trim away from the bottom of your Hosta plant. This summer, here in New Jersey, we've experienced an exceptionally early summer and my leaves started turning a little brown. As you can see I trimmed a lot of leaves so my plant could breathe from the bottom and allow newer leaves to flourish.

2.Collecting Leaves You Want

Once my Hosta leaves are piled up I can choose as many of the impressive leaves as I want to create my indoor floral arrangement.

3.Floral Arrangement Size And Look

See how I placed leaves in my hand to decide how big I want my arrangement to look. With the large leaf Hostas you can use a few or a lot of leaves depending on the impact you desire.

4.Voila! A Simple Masterpiece

I placed 15 Hosta leaves in one of my favorite vases. My Hosta arrangement, with it's beautiful color combination and splendid leaves is a simple and stunning centerpiece for my family room. A real eye-catcher!

Plant a Hosta, of any shape and size, divide it the following Spring and watch your Hosta garden grow. You will never be disappointed with such wonderous plants that will provide beauty in your garden and in your home. You might even be able to catch a hummingbird sipping on their nectar. I keep trying to snap a photo when I see one near my plants. I'm just not quick enough.

Also, be adventurous and add a few flowers to your Hosta centerpiece. Before you know it, you'll have a home of florals that will greet you every day. Just make sure to pasue and say "Good Morning Beautiful."
