About this product
Hosta (Hosta) is one of the best perennials for shady gardens, offered here as assorted varieties. Buy hostas in Estonia from the ALLIKASILM nursery – the exact variety depends on availability.
Hostas are grown mainly for their decorative leaves: green, blue-grey, golden or variegated with white. In midsummer stems of lilac or white bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage. Height depends on the variety, usually 30–60 cm.
Hostas are very hardy (USDA 3–9) and long-lived – perfect under trees, in shade borders, by ponds and in large containers.

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or in August–September in partial shade and humus-rich soil, 40–60 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Hostas like even moisture – water generously at the base in dry weather. Mulch with compost or give a perennial feed in spring.
Care. Protect young leaves from slugs and snails. Cut back faded foliage in autumn or leave it until spring; divide clumps every 4–5 years.
Gardener's tip. Blue-leaved varieties keep their colour best in shade, while golden and variegated ones are brightest with morning sun.
