Grey-green in colour, and splashed with wide margins of pale gold, the neat oval leaves of Hosta 'Carnival' look superb all through the growing season, forming a large, spreading clump as the plant matures. Unlike many Hostas, this variety has the advantage of slug-resistant leaves. In June and July this Plantain Lily produces lavender-coloured flowers. Although, like most Hostas, it prefers shady conditions, Hosta 'Carnival' will tolerate sunshine. Height: 45cm (1'6). Spread: 1m (3'3).
This Hosta Olive Bailey Langdon is a RHS AGM award winning perennial which will thrive in shady areas blooming with large, corrugated leaves and white bell-shaped flowers in the summer.
Hosta 'Sum and Substance' is a great plantain lily that has been awarded the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM). This bold and beautiful Hosta has huge, deeply corrugated deep green leaves which make a good backdrop for tall stems bearing pale lilac flowers which appear in July. This is the Hosta for a shady courtyard or border, where it makes a bold statement. It looks good with ferns and provides really effective ground cover in areas where many other plants prefer not to grow. Give it shade and moist conditions and it will reward you with lush foliage which looks as good in large pots as it does in the border. 'Sum and Substance' will tolerate some sun, but give the foliage shade during the hottest part of the day and shelter it from cold winds.

No need to wait as long to see your favourite blooms which will return year after year. Suppled as 5 bare root plants. Top Tips- For best effect, plant where your hostas receive full sun for at least half of the day, but protect from midday sun. This will encourage the best leaf colour.Care Guide- Before planting, incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil. Hostas prefer a rich, moisture retentive soil.- Create a hole just deep and wide enough for the roots. The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems above ground.- Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas.- Keep plants well-watered and mulched with well-rotted organic matter.- Hostas can be grown in any container in a good, multi-purpose compost. Ensure that they are kept well-watered. Pot-grown hostas should be fed monthly with a general-purpose liquid feed.- Protect from slugs and snails.- If you find that your hosta is suffering from scorched leaves, move it to a shadier, more sheltered position.Planting Time:November - MarchFlowering Time:June - JulyAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
