Hosta Plant Sales, Specialist Online Hosta Nursery In The UK 

Hostas are constantly changing, colours, deepening shades or fading tones. Many people worry that the colour on their Hosta differ from the issued photos and worry that it’s not what they thought it was. Fear not:-

The need to identify our Hostas has become increasingly important as the garden grows in popularity; this summer, we expect around 30,000 visitors to enjoy this beautiful space. In 2024, we subscribed to Hortis, a software programme that will eventually enable us to record the names of all the plants in the garden accurately and share them with visitors.

So on another lovely sunny day Amy negotiated the winding country lanes of North Yorkshire towards Skewsby near York. What a relief to find the sign ‘Rewela Hostas’ near the centre of the village and John waiting by the entrance to welcome us. Even as we turned into the driveway the spectacle of numerous hosta pots wetted our appetites.

How many Hostas have you got? Does it really matter? Who cares anyway? Do you need to have more? Do you have to have that new variety? Can you resist? Have I got too many? How many is too many? Should you stop now? Undecided? So which category do you fit into? Yes, there is more than one! Are you a Hostaholic or do you feel more like a Hostaphile?

Guacamole is a sport of Hosta Fragrant Bouquet and carries the same fragrant flower. It is a large Hosta with striking variegated leaves that are Avocado green in the centre and darker green margins.

One of the many wonderful attributes of the Hosta is often overlooked or ignored. That is the leaf surface.........In particular, shiny leaved Hostas.

We are delighted to have a guest blog from Pat Hutchinson. A confirmed Hosta lover of many years. Pat and her family own Yorke House & White Rose Cottage. An award-winning English country garden in the heart of Nidderdale. The garden has a series of distinct areas flowing through two acres of ornamental garden. Colour-themed borders of herbaceous perennials, roses and shrubs. Natural pond and stream with delightful waterside plantings. Plus of course a very large collection

So often there is an issue when choosing which Hosta to go with another Hosta or plant based on its leaf colour, or even texture contrast. Will they go together? Will they look good? Can you get it wrong? What about the other plants that aren’t Hostas. Will they go?

Here is an Hosta inspired idea for parents and grand parents. Why not build your own Fairy Garden together. Share your passion for Hostas with the next generation by using many of the really lovely miniature Hostas with other tiny plants to create a magical place for youngsters to enjoy?

Today’s blog is a subject that comes up time after time and therefore needs addressing. Hybridisers are looking to introduce new Hostas varieties every year. A firm favourite with collectors are red stemmed Hostas with a variety of leaf colours, and strengths of red in both the leaf stems

The new gardening season is just around the corner and the biggest indicator of Spring, for Hosta growers, is the emergence of Hosta pips.

Visitors to Rewela Hostas nursery often tend towards the more striking varieties. The ones that look a bit different to the run of the mill variety of Hosta. This may be colour of the leaf, the contrast in the different colours on the leaf, and often, the intensity of a particular colour such as white.

We are delighted to have a guest blog from Hans Hansen Head of the Walters Gardens hybridising team. Walters Gardens is one of North America's leading wholesale perennial growers. Hans is well respected throughout the industry for his fantasic new Hosta introductions. All of which are firm favourites here in the UK.

t’s been about 2 years since we last discussed AI generate photos and if anything, it seems to have got worse, not better. I thought maybe it was just a phase and everyone would get wise to it, but no, sadly many people are still spending their hard earned cash on these products

It’s that romantic time of year again with Valentines Day tomorrow, so I thought we would take a closer look at Hosta Love Story. This Hosta will be a part of your garden "love story." Dare I say ‘swoon-worthy’. A Hosta that truly captures the heart!

Due to the cessation of the AHGA Hosta of the year, which has been replaced by the American Hosta Society Hosta of the Year. They have decided align their new criteria as quickly as possible the AHS have just announced both 2026 & 2027 winners. Therefore we now know that the AHS Hosta of the Year 2027, has been awarded to Hosta Clear Fork River Valley.

As we covered in last week's blog The American Hosta Society have changed the basis for the ongoing Hosta of the year awards, which means we are aware of Hostas of the Year in advance. One for 2026 & one for 2027. Let’s look at 2026 first and then next week look at 2027.

There are many Hosta awards available but why are they important and how relevant are they to Hosta lovers in the Uk?

We showcase our customers gardens, regularly in our monthly newsletter and have a dedicated page on our website which is very popular. We feel that they need even more exposure, hence featuring just a few in this Blog so even more people will see the effort they have made and be inspired with a few ideas they can use in their own gardens. Now is a great time to plan ahead for next year.

This is an exciting time for us at Rewela Hostas. It’s when we sit down and discuss and decide which varieties we would like add to our collection for the new season.
