Hosta

Leaf structure and tranquility in the shade
Hosta is a top-class foliage plant known for its decorative leaves, ranging from fresh green to blue-grey and variegated. This perennial is ideal for shady gardens, borders, underplanting and pots. Thanks to its vigorous growth, low maintenance requirements and striking leaf structures, Hosta is particularly popular with landscape architects, gardeners and private enthusiasts. Some varieties also produce fragrant flowers on graceful stems, which adds value in the summer months. Hostas are winter-hardy, reliable and extremely suitable for long-term use in perennial plantings or as a structural plant in shaded areas.
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.
