In support of military families across the US, Walters Gardens, Inc. introduced a new Hosta, American Hero in 2010. Walters will contribute $0.25 to Project EverGreen for each plant sold. It is a native to North America.
American Hero is described: Like the soldiers we are honoring, this is a tough, durable hosta that reliably displays strong, bold variegation all season long. It has wide dark green margins and a creamy white to pure white center speckled with green. The thick leaves form a very dense clump, and as the plant matures they become somewhat twisted. Lavender flower top the clump in midsummer.
Whether you plant a special plant in honor of our fallen heroes, attend a Memorial Day event or other remembrance, please take a moment to be grateful for the young men and women who didn't have a chance to lead the all American dream you and I have because they chose to fight and die for our benefit. Humbling.
