Did you know…

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 July 18, 2026 we visited NWHS members Todd and Susan Heller’s Garden. As you can see by the pictures below, they have a spectacular, full spectrum garden with annuals that accent perennials in both their full sun and shade gardens, all set off by creative garden art! What a wonderful time admiring their many hosta varieties while conversing with friends in their beautiful garden. Thank you, Susan, for making your garden available for us to tour and to both of you for sharing your creative techniques and secrets.
