Hosta

Hosta – leaf structure and shade beauty in perfect balance

Hostas are perennials that are valued above all for their broad, striking leaves. From small and pointed to enormous and wavy – there is a huge diversity in leaf size, shape and colour. Many cultivars are strikingly marked with creamy white, yellow or blue-green accents. In summer, bell-shaped flowers appear on long stems, sometimes subtly fragrant and loved by bees.

This plant feels at home in partial shade to full shade, in moist, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil. They quickly grow into robust clumps and form an excellent ground cover. Hostas are very suitable for borders, shady corners, edges of ponds and as underplanting around shrubs and trees. The plant is also popular in pots for patios and shady terraces.

Application:

• Perennial borders and shady beds

• Underplanting under shrubs and trees

• Pots and containers for shady terraces

• Landscape planting in parks, resorts and public areas

• Combination with ferns, astilbe, heuchera and other shade plants
