InfoWhite centered sports of H. 'Patriot' are now plentiful, but the more interesting H. 'Minuteman' has remained stable until now. Remember that H. 'Minuteman' is a chimeric polyploid with the 4x tissue being the white edge. A white centered sport of 'Minuteman' that appeared in the lab (with lot, and lots of coaxing). Has a thing green edge that is variable, and a lot of white tissue. The plant stays small and must be treated as a small to miniature Hosta. We are considering this an experimental Hosta until more people have some experience with it.
