Mic the Gardener - Gardening Podcast - Hosta Special with Sienna Hosta

In this episode, another Plant Special, I chat to nurserymen Chris Potts and Ollie Walker of Sienna Hosta. Chris and Ollie are hosta fanatics and what they don't know about hostas isn't worth knowing. And, I can assure you, there isn't much if anything they don't know! Following a walk around the hosta-packed nursery I sat down with them both to chat about everything you could possibly need to know about growing hostas successfully. We chat about: What to grow hostas in and where Growing hostas in containers General maintenance Slugs and snails! Other pests and diseases Feeding and watering Propagation And, following their debut at the Chelsea Flower Show in September 2021, they tell me about how their spectacular stand came together, and how they found out they had been awarded the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medal for their stand. You can find out more about Sienna Hosta and order hostas from their website www.siennahosta.co.uk or follow them at their Instagram account @_siennahosta_. And talking of Instagram, click here to see some pics of me with Chris and Ollie on the day the podcast was recorded My thanks to Chris and Ollie for their time and I look forward to chatting again and seeing you both in 2022 at some of the shows.
