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 ‘Lakeside Little Tuff' is a small hosta. It has lance-shaped leaves with cream-yellow centres and green margins. Pale purple flowers are borne on tall spikes in July.
