Hosta 'Fragrant King'

Post by sugar »

At first I was afraid of the resemblance of this plant with my Hosta 'Fragrant Dream', but there is a clear distinction between both of them.

Like all the other fragrants, its growth rate is very good, and like most of the fragrants, the leaf could use some more substance, but it's definitely a keeper

I just got it this week and I was surprised at how much it looks like my Sugar & Cream. Can't wait to see the blooms on it.

Do not have it. I only have Fragrant Queen ;-) Several reasons :-)
