Hosta 'Honeybells'

A great hosta for sunny locations where others would scorch.

One of my favorites, multiplies quickly to large handsome clump, withstands hot temperatures and humidity extremely well, practically dro...Read Moreught resistant. The scent is wonderful, reminds me of honeysuckle.

Leaf size: 10" long, 6.5" wide. Flower scapes 30". H. lancifolia xH. plantaginea, Cumming 1986.

One of my favorite Hostas! Each plant becomes enomous with age, so it's a great idea to divide them if you have a mass planting like I d...Read Moreo. I have them lining the front of my porch and front foundation (north side). The flowers are plentiful and enormous - a worthy plant for the entire season.

Leaves are wavy, light medium green; slightly shiny on top, very shiny on the bottom. Leaf blade puckers downward creating a very "drapy" effect. Flowers mid-August into September here in NY. Pale lavendar flowers explode on the tall scapes. About 40 flowers per scape. Fragrant. Absolutely stunning when grouped.

They do not seem to be picky as to how they're divided. In fact, the easiest way I've found is to take a large sharp knife and cut through the center of the plant, dig up half of the rootstock and transplant to the new location. It doesn't seem to matter when you do this - early spring - fall, as long as you give the new rootstock plenty of moisture to start out. Next year, you'll never know you divided the part left behind!

Overall a very pretty hosta and easy to care for, PLUS the flowers are large, beautiful and smell like honey.

Also the sc...Read Moreapes are much taller than most other fragrant flowered hosta. There are many scapes on a mature clump and many flowers per scape with 2-3 open per day at their peak.
