Item description from seller

Neuware - Shade doesn't have to mean a dull garden. Hostas thrive in the spots where most plants sulk - under trees, along north-facing walls, in the narrow strip beside the house that never sees full sun - and they reward very little effort with lush, sculptural foliage that returns bigger every year. This guide is written for gardeners who are starting from zero. It explains what hostas actually need, in plain language, without assuming you already know what a crown is or how to read a plant tag. You'll learn how to choose varieties suited to your space and light, how to prepare soil that holds moisture without drowning the roots, and how to plant so that first season gets off to a strong start. Inside you'll find practical guidance on watering and feeding through the growing season, mulching, dividing established clumps to multiply your collection for free, and putting plants to bed properly in autumn so they emerge healthy in spring. There's honest, workable advice on the problems every hosta grower eventually meets - slugs and snails, deer browsing, scorched leaves, crown rot - including what actually helps and what simply wastes money. You'll also find help with the pleasures beyond basic care: growing hostas successfully in containers, pairing them with ferns, heucheras, and spring bulbs, and understanding how leaf color, size, and texture can be used to build a shade bed that looks intentional rather than accidental. Hostas are among the most forgiving perennials you can grow, which makes them an ideal first plant for a new gardener and a dependable backbone for an experienced one. With a little understanding of how they grow, a single plant can become a border, and a shaded corner can become the part of the garden you look forward to most. Start with one plant. This book will show you what to do with it.…
