In mid-to
late-summer, the hosta foliage supports elegant stalks of
bell-shaped flowers in white or shades of lavender. White
flowers usually have a sweeter scent than the lavender. These
sturdy plants continue to add interest into the autumn as
the impressive clumps of foliage take on the golden tones
of the season.
Some hosta flowers are double-flowered white such as 'Aphrodite'
and 'Royal Standard'. Their trumpet-like flowers appear in
late summer and have a heady gardenia-like fragrance that
makes them lovely for cutting.
