Hosta 'Miss America' is an absolutely outstanding Hans Hansen/Walters Gardens introduction that originated from a cross of a streaked Hosta 'American Sweetheart' and the giant Hosta nigrescens 'Elatior'. The result is a stunning, large-growing hosta to 19" tall x 55" wide. The glossy-green, thick-substanced leaves are each decorated with a prominent wide white central pattern. The clumps are topped with 5' tall spikes of white flowers in mid-summer. Hosta 'Miss America' has shown excellent vigor in our garden trials.
