Hosta 'Mint Rushmore'

Hosta 'Mint Rushmore' establishes a commanding, monumental presence in the shade garden, forming a truly gigantic, mountain-like mound of highly tactile structural foliage. Hybridized from heavyweights 'Komodo Dragon' and 'Jade Cascade', this Monty and Julie Carlson introduction breaks away from traditional leaf tones to reveal a refreshing, matte mint-green color palette that remains consistently crisp under dense tree canopies. The massive, rounded leaves feature deep puckering and architectural corrugation, which elegantly shapes their gently twisted, downward-arching tips and beautifully rippled margins. As summer peaks, substantial scapes rise high above the frosted mint canopy, holding clusters of near-white blooms lined with soft lavender interior stripes to accent this magnificent woodland focal piece.

Flank the sweeping, textured base of this monumental mint selection with delicate, airy shade-loving ferns to emphasize its colossal scale and deeply pocketed leaf surfaces. Intersperse the surrounding soil with the arching blades of variegated sedges to reflect light up toward the cool white leaf backs, or group the giant mound behind the rigid, jewel-toned spikes of dramatic astilbes to form an imposing back-border anchor with unrivaled multidimensional depth.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
