Mixed Hosta Collection

Plant these Hostas in a position of full sun for at least half of the day during summer to witness the best leaf colour.

• Before planting, incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil. These Hosta prefer a rich, moisture retentive soil.
• Knock the plants out from their container then look at the roots – if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the root ball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread out into the surrounding soil once in the ground.
• Use a trowel or spade to create holes just deep and wide enough to set in the rootballs. Aim to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.
• Firm back around the soil using your hand for small clumps, or your heel on larger areas.
• Keep plants well-watered while establishing, and mulched with well-rotted organic matter.
• These Hosta can be grown in most types of containers, using a good, multi-purpose compost. Ensure they are kept well-watered. If growing in pots, feed monthly with a general-purpose liquid feed.
• Protect from slugs and snails.
• If you find that your Hosta are suffering from scorched leaves, move them to a position with more shelter and shade.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
