Hosta (Plantain Lily Wide Brim) 'Wide Brim'
With striking heart shaped leaves featuring wide, irregular cream margins that contrast beautifully against the deep green centres, this hosta brings luminous colour to shady garden spots. The foliage forms an attractive mound that reaches about 50cm tall and spreads generously, making it perfect for brightening up borders or woodland gardens. In midsummer, pale lavender flowers appear on tall scapes, adding vertical interest. More sun tolerant than many hostas, it maintains its vibrant variegation well throughout the season while offering excellent slug resistance compared to other varieties. Ideal for planting beneath trees or in shaded areas where its colourful leaves can truly shine.
