It builds very large mounds of glossy, wavy, pointed green leaves and tolerates more sun and dry weather than most hostas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn late summer, white flowers open on 35 to 40-inch scapes, with a sweet scent that is strongest in the evening. The mound reaches about 26 inches tall and more than 5 feet wide. It is dependable for mass planting, lining a walk, or anywhere the fragrance can be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, pointed, oval leaves in bright green with a glossy surface and wavy edges, arching outward from the crown. The plant forms a very large, broad mound about 26 inches tall and 63 inches wide. In late summer, scapes 35 to 40 inches tall carry white, trumpet-shaped flowers well above the foliage. Leaves have visible parallel veining and a slightly lighter green tone than most hostas. At peak the white flower spikes rise over a wide sea of shiny green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven though it handles some sun, it still wants richer, moister soil than lavender, so plant it in a separate bed with daylilies, astilbe or ferns rather than in a dry lavender border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTakes more sun than most hostas, from full shade to morning sun or even full sun in cooler climates, as long as the soil stays evenly moist and rich in organic matter. Hardy in zones 3-9. Water well in hot, dry weather, remove spent scapes, and divide in early spring if the clump gets crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hosta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e White, fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy bright green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very large mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 in tall × 63 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susceptible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
