Info | This is the first of our large yellow hostas with purple petioles. It is a cross of 'Key West' with our best purple petiole breeder. It has rounded puckered leaves showing its H. sieboldiana heritage and remains yellow all season. It is named for Tom Micheletti, good friend and past president of the AHS, as well as the cartoon superhero on Captain Kangaroo. |
