Description

Hostas are one of the best perennials here in UK gardens, forming mounds of attractive, often colourful foliage, which is topped with sprays of bell-shaped flowers in summer. Growing virtually anywhere, and particularly valuable for those awkward shady spots, they are available in a wide range of colours and forms to suit any garden. Also known as Plantain Lilies, Hostas are great for filling gaps in beds and borders, and they also look fabulous planted up in patio pots and containers separately for a more formal look. Their attractive foliage creates interest all year round and their stunning, often fragrant flowers really wow in the summer. They love the sun but will perform just as well in dappled shade – they’re a great choice for planting underneath trees and shrubs acting as great groundcover plants. This collection includes a mixture of 3 varieties: Hosta ‘Blue Angel’ – forms a clump of wavy-edged, large blue-grey leaves. Bell-shaped, pale lavender-white are produced from June. One of the largest and most reliable of the Blue hostas. H75-80cm W90-120cm. Hosta fortunei var. albopicta – has broad, creamy-yellow, heart-shaped leaves with contrasting green margins. Mauve flowers are borne on leafy stems in July. H45-55cm W80-100cm. Hosta ‘Wide Brim’ – heart-shaped, puckered dark green-blue leaves with a cream margin. Pale lavender flowers in June-July. H40-45cm W80-100cm. Supplied as 3 x 9cm pots.
