SHADOWLAND HUDSON BAY HOSTA
Hosta ‘Shadowland Hudson Bay’
Hosta ‘Shadowland Hudson Bay’ is a noble Hosta of impressive stature to really make a statement in the shade.
Leaves are very large and rounded, puckered, and heavily pleated.
With a waxy sheen that helps to make them more slug resistant.
Tri-colour foliage has great colour interest through the seasons; with a creamy-white centre, broad jet streams of apple-green, and bright blue edges to each leaf.
Stately spires of purple trumpets are a summer bonus.
Hosta ‘Shadowland Hudson Bay’ is a very showy, substantial clump of symmetrically arranged foliage in full to deep shade (or perhaps just a little morning sun).
Superb in either garden or pot.
Foliage clump 80cm. high x 90cm. wide. Summer flower spires 90cm. tall.
Frost hardy, long lived, deciduous perennial clump, giving pleasure in spring, summer and autumn with foliage colour, plus summer flower interest. Foliage and flowers are both striking for floristry and vases.
Designer style & tough in the dry
Hosta have exploded in popularity recently, as the “must have” hardy solution for gardener designers challenged by shade.
The reputation of Hosta for being able to survive periods of dry, has soared during recent drought years.
So once Hosta are established in the shade, they are certainly not “water-guzzlers” and have good dry-hardiness.
Do not despair - slugs & snails can be defeated
Many gardeners are put off growing Hosta, fearing they will be devoured by snails.
But there are some easy and simple solutions to the slug and snail problem, and timing is all.
Hosta are most susceptible to chew marks when the new, furled young leaves are emerging after winter.
So applications in late winter, early spring, and again in mid spring, of whichever snail slaying, deterrent method you favour, will mean you have beautiful Hosta leaves to enjoy till the end of autumn.
