Hosta plantaginea

[M-L] The old August Lily, with its regal, perfumed flowers, deserves a spot near a door, patio, or frequently open window. Though the huge, white flowers are the main event, the light green foliage is smooth, glossy, and looks fresh and clean all season. Hosta plantaginea is a very unique hosta. It is the only fragrant species hosta, so it is to thank for all the wonderful fragrant hybrids. It is the only night blooming hosta. It is also native to sub-tropical China, which means Hosta plantaginea and its hybrids are the best choice for growing in sunny locations and southern climates. A mature clump can measure 18" high and 40" across and blooms in late summer with giant, pure white, heavily scented flowers. A rapid grower that puts on the best flower display with warmth and moisture.
