Fragrant Bouquet Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its attractive foliage. The corrugated heart-shaped basal foliage with lightly rippled edges are apple green with margins that emerge yellow and mature to cream. Small fragrant bell-like near-white lavender flowers raise up on scapes in late summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Fragrant Bouquet has improved sun tolerance.
