From classic hostas to new introductions, from miniature hostas to giants, our hosta collection has something for everyone.

Our Garden Nursery in West Yorkshire is devoted to Hostas and in our Website you will find something to appeal to everyone, from the hosta beginner to the serious collector.

Our Catalogue lists over 450 hosta varieties, including old favourites, classics and an exciting range of newer varieties. We grow around 350 of these in our garden, so can give you first-hand information about these varieties.

We particularly specialise in miniature and very small hostas, offering around 100 miniature hostas and 70 very small varieties and cultivars, some rare and hard to find.

Thank you for visiting our Website. Enjoy your hostas!

Visiting our Garden Nursery

Our Nursery is in West Yorkshire between Wakefield and Huddersfield. Address: 69 Ings Mill Avenue, Clayton West, HD8 9QG.  We are 3 miles from the M1 travelling north (Jnc. 38) and 6 miles travelling south (Jnc. 39).

Just email us (hostas @sueproctorplants.co.uk) or ring us on 07917 006636 or 07817 1320 to fix a day and time for your visit.  All visitors are offered a cuppa and biscuits. A toilet is available. If you are looking for specific varieties please let us know so that we can make sure they are there for you. If you just want to browse our stock that’s fine. Our Garden Nursery contains over 500 hostas planted in a variety of settings –  Borders, Beds, Pots, Troughs, Gravel Garden, Rockery and ‘Living Wall’.

For those with mobility problems our garden is sloping but steep sections and steps have handrails. It is possible to reach the top of the garden without negotiating steps.

Mail Order Service

Some customers have asked whether we might resume our mail order service. Unfortunately this is not possible since our current stock is not large enough to sustain the likely demand.

Most varieties listed are accompanied by a photograph to make choosing easy. Clicking the plant’s photo reveals more information on the plant, extra photographs, where available, and the option to add plants to the new shopping cart.
