Hostas
If you love hostas, we defy you to look at our grower’s choices without adding another to your collection! Choose from a plethora of leaf sizes, shapes and colours, then look forward to the clusters of small flowers that pop up every summer. Hostas are long-lived perennials, getting stronger each year and naturalising into clumps just as they would in their natural woodland habitat. All of ours are grown the traditional way by Jack in Herefordshire, for extra vigour and hardiness.
Which hosta?
Thanks to the ever-growing number of hosta enthusiasts in the UK, there are a dizzying number of choices, with colours ranging from whites and creams to deep teal blues and forest greens. There’s as much variation in leaf texture and pattern too. Large leaved hostas like Snow Cap or Patriot are a great choice for a border, while miniature varieties like Lakeside Little Tuft are ideal for pots.
Planting schemes and partners
Hostas make the perfect groundcover for planting under deciduous trees, but we think they deserve to be shown off in pots too. No woodland garden is complete without them, and they’re the perfect partner for lush foliage plants like ferns and heucheras.
Growing tips
Hostas are beautifully undemanding, thriving in lightly shaded borders and needing no pruning or feeding. Once they’re established, your hostas won’t even need regular watering. Don’t worry if they seem to disappear in winter - hostas go dormant and come back every spring with their new fronds peeping through the soil as if to announce the start of a new gardening year.
