Emily Dickinson Or Austin Dickinson in flower

Post by boops »

I know I bought a ? Dickinson Hosta years ago not sure which one it is, but here it is in flower. I can't really notice a scent (sinus issues)

I believe Emily Dickinson is a longer leaf with a little wider edge and Austin Dickinson is more of a rounded, oval leaf. I still get asked for these two plants once in a while but haven't grown them in 7 or 8 years or more.

Sorry you are having sinus problems right when the fragrant ones are starting to blossom!

The Hosta Library has some good flower pictures for these two. Yours looks like the Emily Dickinson flower.
