    Antennaria from the Latin antenna originally referring to the mast of a sailboat.  Part of the flower supposedly resembles a butterfly’s antennae.  Historically used for medicine as an astringent, a cough remedy and to break fever.  First described by German physician and botanical author Leonhard Fuchs (1501-1566).  Gertrude Jekyll (1848-1931), mother of the mixed perennial border, planted this in her own rock garden at Munstead Wood and in the Sundial Garden at Pednor House in Buckinghamshire. The pink version, A. dioica rosea, collected in the Rocky Mountains by C.C. Parry before 1860.

    Hosta was named for Dr. Nicholas Host (1761 – 1834) physician to the emperor of Austria and expert on grasses.  H. plantaginea was a popular Chinese plant as long ago as the Han Dynasty (202 B.C. – 220 A.D.)  Chinese used an ointment made from H. plantaginea to reduce inflammation and fever.  M. de Guines introduced H. plantaginea to Europe when he sent it to the king of France in 1789. Gertrude Jekyll, (1848-1931) mother of the mixed perennial border, recommended H. plantaginea ‘Grandiflora’ to keep border gardens looking “full and beautiful.”
