Product description
Transform shaded garden corners with this curated collection of hardy hostas. Supplied in 9cm pots, this mix offers a wonderful variety of complementary leaf shapes, textures, and colours—from frosty blues and bright greens to striking cream and gold variegations. These reliable perennials emerge every spring to create a dense, weed-suppressing canopy that grows fuller and more impressive year after year.
Hostas thrive in dappled shade and fertile, moisture-retentive soil where their delicate leaves are protected from the midday sun. Keep them well-watered during their first growing season to establish strong roots, and protect emerging spring shoots from garden slugs and snails. Because they are fully deciduous and frost-hardy across the UK, simply clear away the dead foliage in late autumn once the plants enter winter dormancy.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Protect your Hosta Variety Mix from hungry slugs and snails by scattering crushed eggshells, coarse grit, or natural wool pellets around the base of the plants as soon as fresh shoots appear in spring.
How to Water
Keep the soil around your Hosta Variety Mix consistently damp but never waterlogged. Always water directly at the base of the plant early in the morning to prevent leaf scorch and discourage fungal diseases.
How to Plant
Plant your Hosta Variety Mix in a shaded or semi-shaded garden spot. Dig a hole slightly wider than the 9cm pot, position the plant level with the soil surface, backfill with rich compost, and gently firm the ground to remove air pockets.
