This week on The Horti-Culturalists we're taking a close look at a popular group of very useful perennial plants - Hostas! We're at Gentiana nursery in Victoria which has one of the best collections of Hostas in the country to learn what these wonderful plants need to thrive, how to use them in the garden, how to grow them in pots, how and when to divide them and how to use them in the garden. We'll be looking at twenty varieties to explore the differences in form, colour, size and variegation....and might not be leaving empty handed! And many thanks to Craig for letting us run wild in his Hosta house!
