Hosta plantaginea ‘Venus’
Hosta plantaginea 'Venus' is a fragrant hosta with unique, "hose-in-hose" double flowers.
Light green, glossy, beautifully ribbed leaves and spectacular, large, extremely fragrant white flowers in summer. ‘Venus’ has the added bonus of double flowers — actually they’re tripled with three flowers in one! The foliage of plantagineas is thinner than many other hostas. Plant in shade away from heat and drying winds.
