Beginner Gardening: Goofy looking..., 0 by MsKatt

Okay, here is my kidney shaped bed. I have lovely, rich soil...added some leaf mould and at least
200 HUMONGOUS earthworms (thanks to my 8 yr old helper). This area is almost always damp and it is total shade. It's under a very large Maple tree.

Last year, (our first planting season in this house) I changed this bed twice. First I had irises...they looked weird there. Next, I just planted impatiens and they filled in the bed nicely...nice color, low maintenance but no height...sorta boring...and now I have to plant SOMETHING again.

Since I've been bitten by the hosta bug (most of my yard is shady), I spotted these 3 gems today. They were under $8 each so they have a home now. The plan was to plant the 3 hostas and interplant with impatiens until I can think of something better. However, I think it looks strange right now. Ithink I should move the middle hosta closer to the center, but then what do I do behind it? Maybe put the large one RIGHT in the center and make a "ring" of sorts with the others (may have to purchase a few more) and then outline the bed with impatiens? (I have a whole flat of them already, lol) Thoughts?
