Hostas are loved for their bold foliage that provide interest in very shaded areas of the garden, where other plants would struggle to grow. Hosta 'Wide Brim' is a striking variety, that has variegated foliage with deep green centres and pale creamy-yellow margins. In July, lilac-blue, funneled shaped flowers emerge on tall stems (up to 60cm), above the leaves, which grow in a mounding habit. Plantain Lillies are fine in shade, but like a sheltered position, away from cold dry winds. Height: 45cm (18). Spread: 100cm (39).
