InfoAnother fine new hybrid from promising newcomer Kent Terpening, this unusual green fared well with the Judges at First Look, earning a First Place ribbon for him in the very competitive green seedlings section. Also won Best of Section at the Buffalo Hosta Show. An impressive debut for this plant in its first showings. Rich green spoon-shaped leaves pointing upward forming an unusual small clump.
A small green hosta from the breeding program of Kent Terpening, a fast grower with deep green leaves that are nearly round, moderately cupped with a nice pebbled surface.
