Hosta ‘Bridegroom’

 

From legendary hosta breeder and mentor Herb Benedict, comes one of the most distinct green leaved hostas ever developed. Each plant produces rippled heart-shaped green leaves which curl upward, while the sides of the leaf cascade downward. Purple bell-shaped flowers open in midseason. Site this fascinating hosta as a specimen where one may appreciate the intriguing beauty of its unusual form. Recipient of the 2004 AHS Alex J. Summers Distinguished Merit Award.
