Description

A head-turning duo of recent Hostas, the 'Twist and Shout' Collection will get even the shadier spots of your garden singing!

This vibrant pair offers a fresh spin on traditional shade plants, pairing two varieties with personality in every leaf. Hosta 'Party Streamers' features energetic lime-green foliage that curls and ripples like a streamer on the breeze. While, Hosta 'Silly String' brings steel-blue tones and fine, string-like leaves that shimmer with architectural style.

Both plants form compact, neat mounds, making them ideal for patios, courtyards, or underplanting trees and shrubs. They shine in containers too, where their unique foliage can really stand out.

Plus, they are tough, fully hardy perennials that thrive with very little care. Once established, they tolerate dry shade, bounce back from winter cold, and flower in midsummer with tall spires of soft lavender blooms. These blooms aren't just beautiful, they're pollinator friendly too.

Whether you're designing a shady border or livening up a pot display, this duo delivers impact without the fuss.

Supplied as a pair of established plants in 12cm pots, including one of each named variety, ready to plant.

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 Information

Before planting, incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil. Hostas prefer a rich, moisture retentive soil.
Individually knock out each plant from its container. 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 into the surrounding soil.
Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the football.
The aim is 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 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.
