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 ‘Frosted Mouse Ears’ is a sport of the popular cultivar 'Royal Mouse Ears'. A miniature hosta, it has blue-green leaves with a wide cream margin. Purple flowers appear on tall stems in summer.
