Hosta plantaginea,commonly known as Hosta, belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is a perennial herbaceous plant. It gets its name from its flower buds, which are as delicate and lustrous as jade, resembling a traditional hairpin. The plant produces terminal racemes with several to a dozen flowers, which are tubular-funnel shaped and can be either purple or white, exuding a sweet fragrance. In addition to its jade-like flowers, the most distinctive feature of the Hosta is the variegation on its leaves. Different varieties of Hosta have leaves with varying colors and patterns.
