Hosta 'Harmony'

This second generation H. 'Tardiana', was registered in 1976 by Paul Aden on behalf of the originator, Eric Smith. A 15 inch tall plant that spread about 33 inches wide, this cultivar has ovate shaped leaves with thick substance. It bears purplish flowers in late August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...stands out amongst the Tardianas for having purple flowers that bloom very late in the season."
