    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.”
