notes
This plantain lily bears heart–shaped, puckered blue green leaves that work well as a shady groundcover. Bell-shaped flowers of the palest lilac held on long stems (up to 45cm) in late summer add to its appeal. Clump forming, the perennial looks great in a 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 ‘Love Pat’ is a recipient of RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
