Few words can do justice when seeing a mature clump of Hosta 'Brother Stefan'...the 2017 Hosta of the Year! Introduced and named by top hosta breeder Olga Petryszyn as a birthday present to her brother, this hosta is quite a gift. Hosta 'Brother Stefan' is a hybrid of Hosta 'King Tut' x Hosta 'Mildred Seaver'. Each 22" tall x 3' wide clump of thick, heavily-corrugated, golden foliage is edged with a wide border of blue-green. In late spring, the 2' scapes of white flowers that top the clump are a hummingbird prize. Hosta 'Brother Stefan' is truly one of the most spectacular hostas we have ever seen...find out firsthand.
