Boldly variegated and beautifully refined, Minuteman Hosta adds striking contrast and structure to shaded garden spaces. This medium-sized variety features crisp, dark green leaves edged with clean, bright white margins. The heart-shaped foliage is slightly cupped and lightly corrugated, offering texture and visual appeal from spring through fall. 
 
A sport of the popular Patriot hosta, Minuteman stands out for its deeper green centers and thicker leaves, which provide improved resistance to slugs and summer heat. In midsummer, tall scapes of lavender flowers emerge above the foliage, attracting bees and other pollinators.
 
Well-suited to Manitoba’s cooler climate, Minuteman thrives in part to full shade and rich, well-drained soil. Its compact yet bold presence makes it ideal for edging, mass plantings, or container displays in shaded areas. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, it’s a standout in any foliage-focused garden design.
