Hosta ‘Bullfrog’ was introduced by NWHS co-founder and noted hosta judge Walter L. Hoover. Bullfrog is a sport of H. ‘Krossa Regal’ with a slow growth rate and moderately twisted leaf appearance (see full characteristics in the Hosta Treasury). Unfortunately, this is one of those hostas that cannot be mass produced through tissue culture and can only be acquired through plant division. At the 2022 AHS Convention, a division of Bullfrog sold for $450.00. Walter passed away Dec. 2, 2020 at age 85, about a year after attending a NWHS holiday party.

On June 20th, NWHS members visited Dorothy and Micheal’s gorgeous garden featuring a wide variety of hostas and companion plants. Meticulously arranged, the hostas really showed off their striking color assortments against a dark mulch backdrop under the shade of numerous old grove oak trees. What a perfect setting for a shade garden and the garden art accents made it delightfully inviting! We were very fortunate that you offered your garden to tour on short-notice – our sincere thanks for making it happen.
