         With regard to fragrant hostas, there are many to choose from, but
make sure the first "frag" you buy is H. 'Fragrant Bouquet' a Paul Aden
introduction of 1982.  It grows 20 to 24 inches in height and spreads up to
36 inches in diameter.  The leaves are light green, having a yellowy-white
leaf edge.  The florets are held nicely above the leaves, on tall scapes
and are funnel-shaped.  Large white flowers and fragrant.  A fairly rapid
grower and placing it in a position receiving morning sun, will give you
excellent results.
         There are a great many fragrant hostas, but in my opinion, the one
I mentioned here, is the breeding breakthrough of our lifetime and the one
I like  best.  Summer Fragrance (the pollen parent of Frag Bouq) is my
second choice.  It has white edged, darker green leaves; lavender fragrant
flowers and blooms earlier.  Both of these produce fertile seeds.

WELCOME TO SHADEGARDENS and
if you get.. hope you enjoy :)
