Q.Cover Tree Stump And Rocks

Zone Boston | Anonymous added on September 18, 2021 | Answered

A huge tree was removed and the stone well that surrounded it was filled with gravel. What can I plant around the stone well that will cover the stump? There are some tree roots outside the well. Would large leaf hosta work? I don’t need to conceal all it, but just dress it up a bit

I would not, unless there is a bit of shade in the area. They will be sensitive to full sun. There are several options for you. I will include an article for a zone lower than yours, in case you decide to grow some of these plants in container nearby, as well:
