Hosta 'Greentown'
 

This is the green form of H. 'Galaxy' which is a non-registered cultivar from Van Wade of Wade and Gatton Nursery (Closed 2019) of Ohio. It grows into a large size hosta about 25 inches in height with a spread of 60 inches. The leaves are roundish in shape. Its medium lavender flowers bloom from late June into July followed by viable seeds. This is part of Van's American Indian Series of hostas.

Delaware Indians, along with a small group of Mingos, Mohawks and Mohegens, settled the present Greentown, Ohio site, as early as 1782. The Hostapedia listed this a 'Greentown' and, despite the fact that the plant label below from Wade and Gatton Nurseries says 'Green Town', we think it is actually 'Greentown'...hope you are not too confused.
