I love hosta because they are an attractive foundation cover, colorful and maintenance free. They die down to nothing in the fall. If you have them on the roof line side, where a lot of snow slides off and piles up, unlike shrubbery, no worries. They will come back in the spring. To help them along and keep grass from invading their area, I dump the rabbit pans across the front of the rabbitry in late April or early May. It creates a nice deep border for them to come up in. Now is the time of year to put down a good bed of bunny manure mixed with shavings/mulch. Don't forget your regular flower beds and shrubs, they'll appreciate it too!
This photo was taken of the front of the rabbitry in late June 2013. Early in the season for the hosta plants that create the front footprint of the rabbitry. By the end of summer, the hosta are huge!
