Hostas are a popular choice for shady gardens. They are easy to grow and come in a range of leaf colours, sizes and shapes. While mostly grown for their foliage, the flowers of some hostas are also of ornamental value, and some have a delicate scent.

Hostas grow best in moist soils, and benefit from a yearly mulch of well-rotted manure, leafmould or compost. They are also well suited to growing in containers, as long as the compost doesn’t dry out.

Hosta ‘White Feather’ is an unusual hosta. Its large, cream-white leaves mature to a lush green. Spays of lavender-blue flowers appear in summer. ‘White Feather’ has a compact habit and is perfect for growing in pots and at the front of the shady herbaceous border.
