Hostas: Easy, Elegant Centerpieces

Submitted by: anonymous  06/09/2009 9:05 PM
 
One of my favorite cheap, fast and elegant centerpieces is hosta leaves.

I have at least 25 varieties growing. There are so many different sizes and shapes and you don't need a lot to make very nice centerpieces. Tie a ribbon, raffata, cheap beads on a plain vase and they look wonderful.

Never thought of using my hostas for arrangments-what a great idea and mine grow like crazy so the big plants won't even miss a few leaves. And the purple flowers that blossom when they go to seed would be a nice touch too.

I actually was trimming a couple and holding the leaves in a bunch and got the idea. Their flowers hold up pretty well in a vase.

Other things I use are: peony leaves all summer and trailing ground covers to cover the lower part of vases/jars.
