'American Hero'--A Hosta for a Cause
At Vander Giessen Nursery, we're always looking for new and exciting plants to offer our gardening customers. In 2011, we were proud to introduce several new varieties; one of our favorites is Hosta 'American Hero' from Walters Gardens, one of the leading perennial developers in the United States. Here's a little bit about 'American Hero' from Walters Gardens:
Like the soldiers we are honoring, this is a tough, durable hosta that reliably displays strong, bold variegation all season long. It is a sport of ‘Revolution’ with wider, dark green margins and a creamy white to pure white center speckled with green. Lavender flowers.
Moreover, Hosta 'American Hero' is a plant for a cause--with the purchase of every plant, a portion of the proceeds go directly to the Greencare for Troops fund, a part of Project Evergreen. This non-profit organization helps to provide lawn and landscape services to US military families while their loved ones are overseas. More information on this organization can be found at www.ProjectEvergreen.com.
