Narrow leaves, green with a white margin, give Stiletto a fine, linear look. This small hosta forms a neat clump that sits well at the front of a planting.
Use it to edge a path, tuck it between stones in a rock garden or give it a pot on a shady terrace. Other compact choices are in our miniature and small hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

They are narrow, green with a white margin, which gives Stiletto a fine texture.
Yes, Stiletto is well suited to a pot on a shady terrace. The pot needs drainage holes, and regular watering keeps the compost from drying out.
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.

Design & companions
A good shade border is built in layers: large hostas and tall partners at the back, medium hostas in the middle and small ones at the front. Repeat a few varieties in groups of three or five, contrast broad hosta leaves with fine ferns or grasses, and add spring bulbs for colour before the hostas wake.

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.
