Hosta 'So Sweet', 1L
£7.00
notes
This plantain lily is much loved for its oval, green leaves which bear a creamy margin, bringing light and interest to a shady spot. In late summer, flowers held on long stems above the foliage, add to its appeal. These funnel shaped flowers are white with purple stripes, open from purple buds and bear a subtle fragrance. Clump forming, the perennial looks great in a shady border but will also perform well as a specimen in a container. Supplied in biodegradable pot made from waste coir and natural latex.

Insights
Hostas are woodland plants and, as such, thrive in a shady spot away from direct sun, sheltered away from cold winds, with soil that does not dry out. Keep an eye for snails and slugs who are rather partial to its luscious leaves. Hosta ‘Patriot’ is a recipient of RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
