Hosta lancifolia

Description

Great foliage plants, very architectural, relatively disease free, easy to grow, long lived, well behaved and unfortunately slugs and snails like them to. Growing them in pots is a solution.
The other is that we have to manage our gardens more ecologically, giving predators like frogs and hedgehogs a healthy environment to live in.

Quite a different Hosta from the usual hybrids. Dense mounds of narrow pointed dark green leaves, somewhat reminiscent of mouse plant (Arisarum proboscideum). Will spread (slowly) as a ground cover. Usual Hosta conditions of good soil in partial shade.
