Honeybells Hosta
Hosta ‘Honeybells’ has light to medium green, slightly shiny leaves that are broader in mature plants. The leaves have wavy edges, which give them a somewhat puckery appearance. This hosta blossoms later than most others, but the very fragrant flowers are worth the wait. The flowers open in mid-morning, and only two or three flowers open each day. Although there are usually a lot of flowers on each scape (I have counted up to forty-five), very few seed pods form, and many of those are oddly shaped.
