3 or 6 Large Hosta Growers' Mix Plants – Outdoor Garden Ready Hardy Shade Perennials
Transform shaded areas of your garden with this collection of three large Hosta plants, supplied as a growers' mix. Each plant is delivered in a 1 litre pot, well-established and ready to plant straight into your garden or containers. Hostas are among the most popular and reliable shade-loving perennials, prized for their stunning architectural foliage that brings texture, colour and structure to borders, woodland gardens and patio displays.
As a growers' mix, you will receive a hand-selected assortment of Hosta varieties, offering a beautiful range of leaf shapes, sizes and colours — from rich greens and blue-greens to golds and variegated patterns. This mix provides an effortless way to create a varied and visually striking planting scheme without the need to choose individual cultivars.
Hostas are incredibly low-maintenance once established, returning year after year with larger, more impressive clumps. In summer, elegant flower spikes rise above the foliage bearing delicate bell-shaped blooms in shades of white, lavender or purple, attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden.
