Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Hostas offer a delightful range of foliage shapes, colours, sizes and flowers. These popular perennials are shade tolerant, perfectly resilient and make wonderful displays in any garden bed or container. Once established, they can be divided for larger displays or even to share with your friends. This lucky dip mix will include a selection of varieties from:

Hosta 'Minuteman' - cupped, blue-green leaves with a wide, white margin.
Hosta 'Blue Angel' - the largest of the blue leaf hostas.
Hosta 'Francee' - deeply ribbed foliage edged in jagged, cream margins.
Hosta 'Fire and Ice' - A spectacular Hosta with superb reverse variegation. Each leaf has a pristine white centre with a deep green, wavy margin.
Hosta 'Sum and Substance' - large, heart shaped yellow foliage up to 50cm (20") long.
Hosta 'Twilight' - A wide-leafed form with rich yellow margins, that seemingly glow in the evening light.

Supplied as plug plants.

Please note: Varieties included may differ from those illustrated.

Culinary information: The best part to use is the hoston, the rolled up leaf as it emerges in the spring. Cooking depends on the size of the hostons, small ones can be fried for a few minutes, going well in stir fries. Thicker ones are better boiled and used as a vegetable.

When growing Hostas, choose a position in partial or dappled shade on fertile, moist, well drained soil. Add plenty of well rotted manure to improve heavy clay or light sandy soils. Alternatively plant Hostas in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.

In autumn, remove old foliage and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant. Lift and divide Hosta plants in autumn every third year to maintain their vigour.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
