Hosta sieboldiana by Abraham Jacobus Wendel, 1868. Hosta (/ ˈ h ɒ s t ə /, [5] syn. Funkia) is a genus of plants commonly known as hostas, plantain lilies and occasionally by the Japanese name gibōshi. Hostas are widely cultivated as shade-tolerant foliage plants.
Hosta sieboldiana, Siebold's plantain lily, is a species of hosta native to Japan. [2] A putative variety, Hosta sieboldiana var. elegans (called the giant blue hosta), has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, as has a putative variety of its synonym; Hosta fortunei var. aureomarginata, the gold-edged plantain lily.
Garden performance is best in partial to moderate shade, in well-drained moist soil. Hostas in the 'Undulata' group include an all-green cultivar, 'Undulata Erromena'; a white-edged cultivar, 'Undulata Albomarginata'; and white-centered (medio-variegated) cultivars that may be grouped according to the amount of white in the leaf.
