While hostas produce flowers, they're mostly grown for their bold foliage. Hosta 'Proud Sentry' are full hardy plants that can be grown under deep-rooted trees as ground cover, in borders, or even near water. They grow best in moist, but well-drained soil and most prefer shade with shelter from cold winds.

For the lushest displays, feed with a balanced fertiliser between March and June. Don't feed after this period or you'll encourage the sort of sappy growth that slugs adore. Prevent attach from slugs and snails by using beer traps or wildlife-friendly slug pellets. Hosta 'Proud Sentry' produces green leaves with broad yellow margins.
