Each gene has a special job to do. The DNA in a gene spells out specific instructionsâmuch like in a cookbook recipe â for making proteins (say: PRO-teens) in the cell. Proteins are the building blocks for everything in your body. Bones and teeth, hair and earlobes, muscles and blood, are all made up of proteins.
Hostas are quite effective among other companion shade perennials and shrubs including astilbe, dicentra (bleeding heart), ferns, tiarella (foam flower), tradescantia (spiderwort) and hydrangea. Shade Loving vs Shade Tolerant. Hosta are shade tolerant and not shade loving as many of us had thought.
I planted hosta for the first time this year. I was told that it was a hardy plant and that bugs rarely eat them. The problem is that my hosta's leaves are starting to turn brown. Some of the leaves also look shredded. I can't tell if anything is eating them, or if they are just dying for some reason. They are still putting forth blooms.
