H. 'Brother Stefan'

(O.Petryszyn 99)

25” tall, 30” wide).
This time the hybridizer stepped away from her Americana series for this masterpiece, to be created as a gift for her brother’s birthday. Working with h. King Tut’ for the puckering and texture, the result is truly amazing. Brother Stefan has three luscious colors. The center of the leaves have a maple leaf pattern which turns gold in the center, bleeding out to a chartreuse and then edging in deep green. Pure white, tightly packed flowers sit on the top of the plant. H. ‘Brother Stefan is always the first to catch the visitors eyes.

By far the most feminine hosta you’ve ever seen. Loaded with ripples, undulations and puckering. In the spring it shines in the garden like a lemon-yellow beacon of light. Unmistakable in the landscape. Mounds of light lavender flowers in Summer. Later the plant turns a darker chartreuse-green. Fast growing. This darling is intense.

A great hosta to bridge your garden’s design.
