Who needs hostas??

Why expend all that money on gourmet hostas when you’re able to just go down to the local garden centre and corrupt a 6 - pack of cabbage or kale ? gravely , though , enceinte hostas are expensive . While you work up your collection , satisfy your predilection for bold foliage with a few crummy stand - ins like this . Other cheap and bold foliage to try ? expectant flowering tobacco ( Nicotiana sylvestris , annual ) , and rhubarb plant ( Rheum rhabarbarum ) are both beefy and mythologic . Got any more suggestions ?
