Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This outstanding hosta has erect leaves with dark green centres and eye-catching white edges that make a handsome mound. 'Minuteman' is similar to 'Patriot' however the white margin does not go as deep into the leaf. Leaves are a little rounder and slightly more cupped. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.

A sport out of Patriot with more cupping in the leaves, it is not hugely different but I like it.
