Hosta plantaginea is particularly well known for its fragrant, white, trumpet-shaped flowers. Some related hybrids also produce scented blooms. Because not every hosta variety is fragrant, check the botanical identity and variety information before purchasing seeds.
Many hostas grow well in full or partial shade. However, light requirements vary by species and variety, and some fragrant hostas tolerate more sunlight when the soil remains consistently moist. Protect plants from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates to help prevent leaf scorch.
Hosta seeds may germinate within a few weeks under suitable conditions, although timing varies with seed freshness and growing conditions. Seed-grown hostas generally take several growing seasons to develop into mature clumps. Plants grown from seeds may also differ from named parent cultivars in foliage and flower characteristics.
