How to Grow Hostas In Pots And Containers

[@thoreauminded1010]

Love the idea of putting hostas in pots

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

They grow so well in pots .

I always grow my hostas in pots and they display together really nicely.

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

They do we love them in pots just bought some new ones to add to our collection including a giant one we have not had before

I put a piece of mesh over the drainage hole to stop the slugs getting in from the bottom. Then garlic spray regularly. Spray works fine but it rains here in a Scotland ( a LOT) so have to keep repeating spray.

Most of my hosta are in the garden but I also have some at the front entrance of my condo. Very nice video and thank you much.

I very much like the idea of the gravel to keep the slugs away.

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

You’re very welcome

[@thoreauminded1010]

Would putting potted hostas on a brick surface work as well as on the gravel?

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

Not as well, it's the sharp gravel edges that put them off exploring

[@thoreauminded1010]

@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 I wondered -- thank you for noting that

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

You are most welcome

Do you cut back the stems after the flowers fade? I have a blue mouse ears hosta.

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

Yes we cut back the flowering stems after they fade

Slugs are a problem here. Pots would definitely be the best way for me to grow hosta. I like orange marmalade.

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

Pots are the way to go so much easier if slugs are a problem

I bought hosta from clearance , it only has 2 leaves but root ball fits snuggly in its nursery pot. Should I keep it that way until there's more leaves, or up pot this?

[@gardenerscottageblakeney1316]

Pot it up it may have exhausted the compost . We bought a similar one by last year and potted it up straight away and it’s doing really well this year
