Hosta ‘So Sweet’
Hosta ‘So Sweet’ was chosen as the very first Hosta of the Year in 1996. This hosta has medium to dark green leaves and wavy, creamy margins. The leaves are smooth, of medium thickness, and shiny, becoming broader as the hosta matures. Although its foliage is attractive, the most outstanding characteristic of this hosta is its very fragrant pale lavender flowers. I have three So Sweets, and two are several years old, but so far they have produced very few seed pods, and none of the seeds has resulted in seedlings.
