Hosta Collection
Produces stunning decorative foliage!
Hostas are instantly recognisable for their large, rounded leaves. These five varieties are particularly showy, forming dense clumps of colourful foliage. They grow in a range of stunning greens which over time they will spread to create weed-smothering ground cover. These hardy perennials thrive in lightly shaded areas of the garden, either in borders or patio containers. Keep slugs and other pests under control and these resilient, easy-grow, hardy perennials will boast you with a display of fresh colourful foliage each spring, lasting right through to autumn.Hosta Collection comprises:

Growing Information
Grow Hosta plants in sun or dappled shade, on rich, moist, well-drained soil. Plants can grow well in a sunny border, but will need to be kept reliably moist. Plants may perform better on slightly acid soils. Before planting, work some fresh compost or general fertiliser into the top 20cm of the soil. Alternatively plant Hostas in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
