Hosta plantaginea Doubled Up medium

This tetraploid form of plantaginea is more compact and has better substance to the leaves. It grows 20” tall and 30” wide. The very fragrant, pure white flowers appear in late summer.

One might think that the words “doubled up” refer to double flowers (like those of plantaginea ‘Aphrodite’), but it actually refers to the fact that this variety is a tetraploid, which means that it has twice as many chromosomes as a regular (diploid) plant.
