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 'Lemon Lime' has wavy-edged lance-shaped leaves in bright green. It has an excellent mounding habit, and is perfect for growing in a border as ground cover, or on its own in a pot.
