How To Grow

Average pest and disease resistance

May be targeted by slugs and snails - Keep the area around the plant debris free and as dry as possible, especially at night as slugs and snails love damp conditions. You can use barriers such as crushed egg shells, grit or copper wire to surround the plant - these will prevent slugs and snails from reaching the leaves.

Water regularly in summer

This plant needs nothing more than rain water throughout most of the year. During hot, prolonged dry periods in summer however, you may have to give the plant a good watering several times a week. If the plant starts to look distressed and the soil around it is very dry, then give the plant some more water and check up on it the next day.

Full sun to full shade

Hostas grow best in partial shade (such as a shady border or under a tree) but they will be fine with any light conditions

Any average well-drained soil

Plant in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, dig in some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.

Feed lightly

Add a sprinkling of general purpose slow-release feed when planting, and every spring after that.
