With
the increasing number of hosta cultivars being introduced each year it
is increasingly difficult for nurserymen and gardeners to choose just
the right hostas for their sales areas and gardens. To this end the American
Hosta Growers Association established the AHGA Hosta of the Year in 1996.
It is selected by a vote of AHGA members. Award winners are hostas that
are good garden plants in all a regions of the country, are widely available
and in sufficient supply and retail for about $15.00 in the year of selection.
