Hosta Milkmaid originated in one of our own NWHS member’s garden! Jan Harvey found this seedling of unknown parentage growing and registered it in 2012. Milkmaid was tissue cultured and introduced by Naylor Creek. To see more Milkmaid characteristics, check out the registration in the Hosta Treasury.

Spring is one of the best times of the year – after the long winter we watch with anticipation as our plants begin to emerge. Unfortunately, the Lily Leaf Beetles begin to emerge alongside our beloved plants. Two of our NWHS members have already reported seeing these destructive beetles this spring! You should be checking your lilies now – they especially like your high priced martagons.
For additional information on the Lily Leaf Beetles, see the post The Red Bugs Are Coming, The Red Bugs Are Coming! – Northern Wisconsin Hosta Society
