Hosta 'Juha'

Hostas are a popular choice for shady gardens. They are easy to grow and come in a range of leaf colours, sizes and shapes. While mostly grown for their foliage, the flowers of some hostas are also of ornamental value, and some have a delicate scent.

Hostas grow best in moist soils, and benefit from a yearly mulch of well-rotted manure, leafmould or compost. They are also well suited to growing in containers, as long as the compost doesn’t dry out.

Hosta ‘Juha’ has narrow green leaves with wavy edges and a white margin. It’s ideal for growing towards the front of herbaceous border, and is also suitable for growing in containers. Lavender blue flowers are borne in summer.
