Fragrant Hosta (Plantain Lily)

Plant in moist, slightly acidic to neutral, humus-rich, well-drained to moderately moist soil in partial to dappled shade — fragrant hosta stands apart from all other hostas by being the only species with intensely, beautifully fragrant flowers — large, pure white, trumpet-shaped blooms on tall scapes in August that fill the evening garden with a sweet, lily-like perfume. The light-green, glossy, somewhat corrugated leaves are unlike the typical blue-green, waxy hostas — they are brighter and more luminous in the shade garden. Fragrant hosta is also significantly more heat-tolerant than most hosta cultivars, performing reliably in zone 8–9 where most hybrid hostas struggle to thrive without cold winters. The evening fragrance is outstanding when planted near patios, pathways, and windows. Derived cultivars like 'Royal Standard' and 'Aphrodite' (double flowers) extend the bloom period and flower character. Exceptional as a long-lived, low-maintenance shade perennial for warm-climate gardens. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 24–36 дюймів Висота: 20–28 дюймів
