Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Hosta undulata var. undulata bears its funnel shaped, lavender blue flowers on tall spikes above neat clumps of foliage. The oval, bright green leaves have attractive creamy white centres a curious twisted growth habit that gives them a fascinating appearance. This RHS AGM variety makes a fabulous addition to borders, woodland gardens and patio containers, producing the best colour in a shady position. Height and spread: 45cm (18").

Culinary information: The best part to use is the hoston, the rolled up leaf as it emerges in the spring. Cooking depends on the size of the hostons, small ones can be fried for a few minutes, going well in stir fries. Thicker ones are better boiled and used as a vegetable.

Plant Hostas in sun or dappled shade on well drained soil. Slugs and snails are particularly fond of Hostas so it is worth providing young plants with some protection while they establish.

In autumn, remove old foliage and apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant. Lift and divide Hosta plants in autumn every third year to maintain their vigour.
