August lily (Hosta plantaginea)

Hosta plantaginea, originating from Asia, is known for its broad, glossy, heart-shaped leaves with prominent parallel veins. Distinctive within its genus, it boasts large, fragrant, white, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in late summer. This plant is particularly suited for shaded or north-facing gardens and can handle high humidity and warmth, making it versatile for various garden conditions. Its low maintenance, combined with its ability to illuminate darker garden areas and attract pollinators, makes it highly popular among gardeners.
