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, & particularly valuable for those awkward shady spots, they are available in a wide range of colours & forms to suit any garden. Also known as Plantain Lilies, Hostas are great for filling gaps in beds & borders, & they also look fabulous planted up in patio pots & containers separately for a more formal look. Their attractive foliage creates interest all year round & their stunning, often fragrant flowers really wow in the summer. They love the sun but will perform just as well in the shade
- they're a great choice for planting underneath trees & shrubs in dabbled shade, acting as great groundcover plants. We've put together a great collection for you, featuring three of the best types (and some holders of the RHS Award of Garden Merit) in a good selection of colours to give the best display in your garden, whether in the border or in pots.

Top Tips- For best effect, plant where your hostas receive full sun for at least half of the day, but protect from midday sun. This will encourage the best leaf colour. Care Guide- Before planting, incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil. Hostas prefer a rich, moisture retentive soil.- Individually knock out each plant from its container. Look at the roots Â- if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the root ball along the bottom edge & pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil.- Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep & wide enough to set in the football.- The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.- Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps & your heel on larger areas.- Keep plants well-watered & mulched with well-rotted organic matter.- Hostas can be grown in any container in a good, multi-purpose compost. Ensure that they are kept well-watered. Pot-grown hostas should be fed monthly with a general-purpose liquid feed.- Protect from slugs & snails.- If you find that your hosta is suffering from scorched leaves, move it to a shadier, more sheltered position.
