Insights
A wonderful plant for woodland areas, or to contrast with fine textured perennials, such as Dicentra or Tiarella. Keep an eye for snails and slugs who are rather partial to its luscious leaves. Hosta sieboldiana var. Elegans is a recipient of RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.

Care
Hostas naturally die back in autumn and any dead leaves should be removed as snails, slugs and their eggs overwinter in the shelter of the foliage - by removing them you can reduce the issue in the spring.
