A great hosta for your collection. Who would think a hosta would produce great cut flowers. The flower stocks are tall and filled with large fragrant flowers like tiny lilies. They are pure white and you smell them every time you walk by them in the house or outside. The leaf coloring is great, it makes this hosta really stand out.

i have had a lot of hostas and this one is probably my favorite. the two-tone leaves are beautiful and this hosta seems to reach mature size quicker than most. it will take tons of sun, even afternoon, but give it water frequently. and the flowers are beautiful and smell heavenly. you can't go wrong with this hosta.

A wonderful, very fast grower. Yes the fragrance is awesome and the hummingbirds are drawn to this one like sugar. Will take a great deal of sun without showing stress (water accordingly of course). If your just starting your collection, definately include this one.
22 vendors have this plant for sale.
