Hostas are hardy perennials that create stunning ground cover with their colourful and varied foliage. They thrive in lightly shaded areas, where they enjoy some protection from the midday sun. In summer, they produce upright flower spikes that add to their charm. Hostas are easy to grow and maintain, and they are ideal for many garden situations, such as patio pots, perennial borders, water gardens, wildlife gardens, and woodland gardens. Keep slugs under control and enjoy their fresh and vibrant foliage from spring to autumn.
