10. Hosta

Hostas provide lush, green foliage and are ideal for a low-maintenance garden. There is a wide variety available, which grow well under different sunlight conditions. Generally, the lighter the foliage, the brighter the location should be. Deeper colors will usually do better in moderate shade, and very few will thrive in direct sunlight. They’ll tolerate most soil conditions and come back for many years.
