    There is a long list of fragrant hostas.
    A preliminary form of the list is in Schmid's
    THE GENUS HOSTA. Interested persons
    may post to me privately for a computer file
    of  fragrant hosta names.

    Some cultivars are more or less fragrant.
    The known source for fragrance in hostas
    is the species hosta plantaginea, known under
    such names as the AugustLily, Grandiflora
    and with double forms such as Aphrodite,
    Venus, and White Fairy which are fussy
    regarding siting for successful bloom.
    There are some fragrant hostas not known
    to be plantaginea sports or hybrids...genetic
    evaluation may reveal a relationship.
