Hosta 'Elegans' Plantain Lily is a highly desirable fragrant hosta that demands attention. This large herbaceous rhizomatous perennial offers three seasons of interest, making it a standout addition to any garden. Known for its dramatic ornamental foliage, Hosta 'Elegans' features huge heart-shaped leaves that measure a remarkable 13 x 10 inches. These leaves emerge with a smoky blue hue in the spring and mature into thick, heavily corrugated, and gently cupped wonders. In addition to its striking foliage, Hosta 'Elegans' produces fragrant funnel-shaped white flowers with a touch of violet on scapes that can reach up to 36 inches in length. These beautiful blooms make it a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds and serve as excellent additions to floral arrangements. As a variety of Hosta sieboldiana, commonly referred to as hosta or plantain lily, Hosta 'Elegans' exhibits a symmetrical mounding habit and a slow growth rate. Its lineage includes the fragrant hosta species, Hosta plantaginea. This hosta is highly versatile and shines when grouped in beds and borders. However, it's equally stunning as a specimen or container plant and works well as edging. This hosta is not only visually captivating but also cold-hardy, easy to grow, and low maintenance. It thrives in partly sunny to shady locations with rich, moist, well-draining soil featuring an acidic to neutral pH. While it can tolerate different soil types, a bit of morning or dappled sunlight can enhance the color of its leaves, though too much sun should be avoided. Adequate watering is essential, and for best results, consider applying a winter mulch and a spring dose of liquid fertilizer (20-10-20 with nitrogen).
