Abstract：The adaptability,phenological observation and landscape characteristics of 17 Hosta species introduced to Yantai region were evaluated based on analytic hierarchy process(AHP).The results showed that adaptability differed between different species,growth potential,tillering ability and stress resistance were important indexes to adaptability.The color of leaf,biomass were the major factors affecting the ornamental value of Hosta species.According to the evaluation result,17 Hosta species were classified into 4 grades.The 4 species such as H.plantaginea ''Summer Fragrance'' were in grade Ⅰ which had best adaptability and highest ornamental value,perfectly suitable to garden application in Yantai.The 5 species such as H.plantaginea ''Big Daddy'' were in grade Ⅱ which had better popularization value.H.plantaginea ''Yuanzhouye'' and other 5 Hosta species were in grade Ⅲ which had certain adaptability and ornamental value.H.plantaginea ''Golden Edger'' and H.plantaginea ''Golden Cadet'' were in grade Ⅳ which obtained lower application value and were not suitable for garden application in large scale in Yantai.
