Plain green leaves on a giant plant: Lakeside Maverick is a classic hosta that gives shady planting a calm, structured backbone. Given room, a mature clump becomes the centrepiece of a border.
Grant it a specimen spot with open ground around it, or the rear of a deep border, where smaller plants can gather in front. For other varieties of this size, see our large and giant hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Design & companions
Hostas make an excellent ground cover for shade: planted closely, their leaves meet and suppress weeds from late spring until autumn. Choose medium-sized, vigorous varieties, plant them a little closer than in a border, mulch the gaps until the leaves close, and expect full cover after about three seasons.

Propagation
Divide a hosta in early spring, when the pointed shoots are just breaking through, or in late summer as a second choice. Lift the whole clump, cut it with a sharp spade or knife into pieces that each have roots and one to three healthy buds, replant them at the same depth straight away and water well.

Planting
Yes, hostas can grow under trees, but the soil there is dry as well as shady, so plan for water. Choose thick-leaved or plain green varieties, plant small divisions in pockets between the roots without piling soil over them, mulch well and water deeply whenever it is dry, all through the first growing season.
