Seasonal Planting - Summer

Hostas

Hostas provide excellent foliage colour in damp, shady positions with variagated leaves in beautiful fresh greens, lemons, creams and white

  • becoming increasingly popular as a container plant
  • need protection from slugs and snails - try using beer traps
  • produce very lush displays especially when fed with a balanced fertiliser between March and June. Stop feeding after this period or the slugs will be after all that juicy growth!
