Your hostas in the bottom photo can be divided next spring and placed elsewhere if they’re taking up too much space where you have them. Some varieties can get very large, but I think they also look nice when you have several in one bed.

As far as not being able to eat them, meaning most flowers, I do enjoy feasting on them with my eyes.

Actually, what you see is a result of my doing just that!

I love hostas but they do not do well in my climate - not worth planting, I keep losing them.

Visited my sister in Colorado and she had an awesome display of hostas in her front yard, I was extremely jealous...Add that to the list of plants I cannot grow here - tulips, crocuses, and other bulbs that need a deep freeze, tuberous begonias, fuchsias and bleeding hearts - although I see them for sale in Home Depot and Lowe’s all the time.

We have plenty of other things I can concentrate on, though, it’s a matter of trial and error and seeing what grows well in the area.
