Hosta 'White Feather'

This little changeling of a hosta is great fun to grow but does like to be pampered. When the leaves emerge in spring they’re whitish-yellow in colour, then streaks of green start to appear as the season progresses.

Hostas are versatile perennials that are perfect for shaded gardens. They thrive in all soils from pure clay to boggy ground and they usually get bigger every year. White Feather requires more care than usual, needing the perfect location that is not to dark or bright. Hostas will bear flowers, usually lavender or white, that grow on tall stalks in early summer. They make a wonderful contrast when planted with small-leaved plants and most certainly add texture to the landscape
