Nabha ji

Perhaps you may be right. Perhaps these fact to help further

H. plantaginea flowers in August-October (hence known as August lily), whereas H. sieboldiana flowers in May-June

H. plantaginea is highly fragrant, whereas other species are not so

H. sieboldiana has leaves with glossy waxy coating that gives bluish tinge , not in H. plantaginea

H. plantaginea flowers open in the evening and close by the morning, others open during the day.

Perhaps other members can give more differences.

Hosta is a popular bedding plant in thewe NE states, since it come
back year after year
every spring and tolerate and even thrives under heavy blanket of
snow, ice and icy rain...

hundred would bloom below my balcony...
but had no smell....
so am pleasantly surprised to know of at least one Hosta that has
fragrant flowers...

MY QUESTION: IS THIS HOYA AVAILABLE IN INDIA AS A GARDEN PLANT...
will it do well in the tropical CALCUTTA ???

does any one know???/


thanks
