Hosta Sting

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.  A medium-sized Hosta with dark green leaves the shape of my heart and centres lined in fields of gold. Flowers on upright scapes, lavender-white like a moon over Bourbon Street appear from mid summer. Hostas are tough as a desert rose, enjoying cool, moist soil and nothing like the sun. We’re mad about them.
