Planning a garden border? Lavender and hostas might look lovely in the same patch, but according to Julian, they’re not a match.
‘Lavender wants full sun and freely draining, relatively dry soil, while hostas prefer shade or part shade and consistently moist ground,’ he tells us.
‘Plant them side by side, and one will unfortunately suffer. Keep lavender with other dry‑garden perennials in the sun and hostas in the damper, shadier borders.’
