Hosta 'John Denver'
 

This seedling of a gold-leaved H. 'Aspen Gold' seedling is a non-registered hosta from Kirk Brill of Iowa. The medium size mound grows to about 15 inches in height with a width of 31 inches. Its foliage is heavily corrugated, cupped and has thick substance. Near white flowers in dense clusters bloom in June.

For those of you under 40, I will assume that this cultivar is named after singing star of the 1970s, John Denver of Rocky Mountain High fame. I always agreed with him when he sang, "Thank God, I'm a Country Boy!"
