Product Description
Stunning combination of dark centers and crisp, wide margins. And it's not difficult to get the color display you want from this variety—even with such bright margins, Patriot is colorfast and exhibits good sun tolerance. It's a low-maintenance, high-reward perennial for rock gardens, naturalizing and container planting. As an extra treat, bell-shaped pastel flowers grow on tall, thin scapes in midsummer. They're great for a mixed bouquet. Hosta 'Patriot' We keep a robust selection of hostas that have won Hosta of the Year in our selection, like Patriot—the 1997 winner. This is a fantastic program by the American Hosta Growers Association. As there are many, many cultivars out there to choose from, this association highlights one hosta each year that puts on an exceptionally beautiful and reliable performance in gardens all across the USA, so home gardeners can choose their new hosta with confidence.
