Hosta flowers
A mass of purple flowers show that Hosta can produce the goods. They are also good for flower arranging.

These flowers stand proud of the leaves which are just beginning to suffer slug damage. Flowers from June to October with funnel or bell shapes.

White flowers on this larger leafed Hosta are shown off by the blue-green leaves.

Another clear white flower – I am thinking I should consider Hostas for flowers not just the shape, form and colouring of the leaves. White flowering Hosta  plantaginea is strongly scented.

Flowers are not as succulent as the leaves and snails and slugs go for the easy meal. Hosta flowers  are   members of the lily family and some folk say they are edible (but I will leave them for the slugs).

Not as floriferous as many varieties the stems are shorter and few in number.
Hostas can be worth growing for the flowers alone – look at these flowers and see if the leaves are just useful extra features.
