Hosta fortunei 'Hyacinthina' - 2026

Hosta fortunei var. hyacinthina, commonly known as the Hyacinthine Plantain Lily, is a medium-sized perennial that forms a dense, mound-shaped clump. Its broadly ovate, grey-green leaves are glaucous beneath and are subtly edged with a fine white margin. This cultivar is appreciated for its elegant foliage and adaptability to shaded garden settings.

In mid to late summer, Hosta fortunei var. hyacinthina produces tall scapes bearing racemes of funnel-shaped, pale purple flowers. These blooms rise above the foliage, adding vertical interest and attracting pollinators. The plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens or shaded borders.
