Bold, reliable & endlessly elegant—Hostas bring shade gardens to life with rich colour & texture.
Famed for their striking foliage, these hardy perennials form graceful clumps of large, sculptural leaves in stunning combinations of blue, green, gold & cream. Each variety offers a unique expression of form & tone. Their tall midsummer flower spikes carry lavender or white blooms that rise above the foliage, inviting bees & butterflies while softening the plant’s strong architectural lines.
Each plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 2L pot—professionally grown in peat-free compost & hand-raised at our Yorkshire nursery. Larger & more developed than standard plugs, they arrive garden-ready with strong roots & vibrant foliage, ready to establish quickly in beds, borders & large containers. With minimal maintenance, Hostas reward year after year with lush, reliable growth, making them an essential for tranquil shaded gardens or striking foliage displays.
