Great savings on easy-grow hosta collection­s

These easy-grow hostas will give you a show of fresh, colourful foliage each spring

-

Grown for their decorative foliage, hostas make superb ground cover. Hardy perennials, they form dense mounds of foliage in a multitude of shapes and colours and produce upright flower spikes in summer. They’re perfect for lightly shaded areas where they will appreciate some protection from the midday sun.

Mass them together in generous clumps for a spectacula­r display in perennial borders, or plant them into patio containers as individual specimens. Keep slugs under control and these resilient, easy-grow perennials will reward you with a show of fresh, colourful foliage each spring, lasting right through to autumn.
