29-7-2025 ALESUND AQUARIUM, NORWAY - SMALL LEAFED PLANTAIN LILY (Hosta sieboldii)


Hosta sieboldii, also known as the small-leaved plantain lily and yard hosta, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Sakhalin, the Kurils, and Japan, and being introduced safely in many parts of Europe, New England and other regions of the northern continental United States.  A number of cultivars are available, such as bare, painted, dash, and, lime.

They have bright pink and purple flowers when in bloom, and they last on average from mid-July to mid-August. Yard hostas can be up to 1.2 meters, (4 feet,) in diameter, however some cultivars may be smaller or larger. The lime cultivar is by far the smallest at around 0.9 meters in diameter. (3 feet.)

Bare: Dark green leaves with tall whitish-pink flowers.

Painted: Lighter but still dark green leaves with white outlines with tall violet and pink flowers. This is the original cultivar.

Dash: Dark green leaves with a broad, white stripe going down the center of the leaves with flowers the same as painted.

Lime: Lime green leaves with occasional white lines. Occasional whitish-pink flowers.
