Stained Glass Hosta

My Stained Glass Hosta is starting to bloom! I didn't think it would this year, largely because I got the plants (two of them) quite late.

Here's what I've found out about this new addition to my garden:

• They grow in zones 3 - 9.
• They are perennial.
• They bloom in late summer or fall (mine bloomed near the end of September).
• The blossoms are very fragrant.
• They are very sun tolerant, although prefer some shade.
• They prefer rich and moist, but well drained soil.
• They attract bees, birds and butterflies.
• They divide easily, and root easily in water.
