sand mixed in could be a prob if its mixed with your other soil.

Hostas dont work you might try other wide leaf plant or maybe a fern I am not from there so I dont know the climate. you might need to bring in some compost or humus or peat moss to help build up your soil.  Read more...

I have a client whose yard is pretty much bare except for a few little ground covers here and there. The soil is pretty hard and a little dry. It’s on a slope, which is right in front of a little swamp. This garden is in Lake Oswego Oregon and I was wondering if hosta and plantain lilies would be good to grow in her garden?
