Notes
'Fragrant Bouquet' hosta (Hosta 'Fragrant Bouquet') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant lavender flowers draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds above a mound of variegated leaves. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. This hosta also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Variegatum Solomon's seal, Aureola Japanese forest grass, and Astilbe.
