Hosta 'Flower Power'
 

Registered by Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts in 1987, this cultivar is the result of a cross of H. nigrescens x H. plantaginea. A giant size plant, it grows up to 36 inches high and 7 feet wide. The leaves are lobed at the base, have slightly wavy margins and form a pointed tip at the end. Starting in mid-July, fragrant, pale lavender flowers begin to bloom.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...another example of Kevin Vaughn's thoughtful breeding. It exhibits the best traits of both parents."

In an article in The Hosta Journal (2016 Vol. 47 No 2), the author described this plant's flowers as having a "Weak" fragrance compared to other hostas.
