Who knows exactly what makes a plant a favorite? I surely don’t. Hosta ‘Moonlight Sonata’ has become one of my all time favorites and I can’t tell you why. It doesn’t have a painted, mulit-colored leaf. It doesn’t really scream for attention. Yet it’s blue-green leaves and large, fragrant, white flowers simply make me swoon.
I have not a single photo that captures what I love in this plant which is ashame. Each time I try to take a picture of this gorgeous plant, it seems to lack whatever it is that makes it special. Try as I might, the photos have never matched the feeling that I get when looking at this plant.
Moonlight Sonata is located at the very top of the creek, above the small pond. It’s in a small hosta garden with Lakeside Roy El, Tall Boy, White Christmas and Key Lime Pie among others. Here it is for what it’s worth in a photo:
