The double-flowered Hosta is a plant whose time has come! The perfect complement to the insignificantly-flowering Hosta varieties in the shade garden, it transforms midsummer into a sweetly-scented, colorful scene with huge (by Hosta standards!) 3 1/2-inch white blooms atop glossy green foliage!'Aphrodite' reaches 15 to 18 inches tall and about 2 feet wide, and is happiest in full shade, although some morning sun is acceptable in the northern portion of its hardiness range. An invaluable specimen for the patio, border, or even container, it is also content in a mixed Hosta planting or among the Ferns and Epimediums of the deep shade garden. Easy to grow and hardy in zones 3-8.
