Wow! That is everyone's first impression
when seeing this amazing new Hosta. A sport of 'Sea Thunder' with many improvements
over its parent. American Sweetheart's leaves are twice as thick which help prevent sun
scald, the green edges are twice as wide, and the flowers are double the size. Each
an every leaf is highlighted with a creamy white center bordered with deep green margins.
The creamy white centers hold their color all season. Plants have good substance
which helps them fight off the only known enemy to Hostas - slugs.

Hostas prefer partial to full
shade and a good rich garden soil that is moist but well drained. Moisture plays a crucial
role in growing beautiful Hosta plants - you will need to water plants during prolonged
dry spells. Feed in very early spring with a top dressing of composted manure and bone
meal. Liquid feed at least twice during the growing season with seaweed extract or
fish emulsion. For more growing instructions see our Hosta
care guide. |
