Hosta is the Number One selling genus of
herbaceous perennial in the U.S. People who love these plants
are often called.
These pages are devoted to the people who hybridize new
cultivars, find new species, promote hostas or add to the
knowledge and enjoyment of this landscape plant.
Listed below are the names of a few of the people who fall
into this category. By clicking on the alphabetical range at the
top of the list, you will be taken to a page with more detail
about each person. That will include lists of hostas that they
are connected with, their accomplishments and awards.
We are always looking to expand these listings. So, if you know
of someone who should be included, please
EMAIL US their name and a brief description of their
contributions to the World of Hostas. Thanks.
