It was first introducced from China by French botanist, Lamarck. Much breeding has produced a huge range of platns with a variety of qualities. This is a new variety discovered as a sport of H. 'Krossa Regal'. It was awarded Host of the Year for 1983. |
| Lore | Hosta is the grown up cousin to the plantain weed, which came to America with colonials. It naturalized so easily that Native American's claimed it sprang up wherever the white man walked. |
