The kanji 萩 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is the "grass" radical (草, kusa, radical 140), which indicates the character's association with plants. The right side is a phonetic component (音符, onpu), 秋 (shū/aki) meaning "autumn". This suggests the timing when this plant blooms. Thus, the kanji 萩 represents a plant that blooms in the autumn.
