Chosen by American Hosta Growers*, the winners are…
2015 Hosta of the Year
Hosta ‘Victory’
Victory is an impressive plant. It forms giant vase-shaped clumps with large, shiny leaves with green centers and margins that change from greenish yellow in the spring to creamy white by early summer. Victory is big hosta that grows 30 inches high by 54 inches across and produces near white to light lavender flowers in the mid-summer. Touted for its smooth textured foliage with thick substance, Victory is a great addition to shady landscapes.
2016 Hosta of the Year
Hosta ‘Curly Fries’
2016 AHG Hosta of the Year will be Hosta Curly Fries. This is a novelty hosta with extremely rippled, narrow chartreuse leaves. The mature plants are peppered with red speckled petioles. Curly Fries is a smaller hosta, forming clumps that grow to 6 inches high and 16 inches across. Just morning sunlight will bring out the best foliage color.

Thank you so much for circulating the Hosta information. Seems like whenever a group asks for a talk, no matter what I suggest ends up being something about Hostas and their companions. I still love them but don’t add to my collection as much as I did previously. Nina
