Hosta "Cuyahoga" review
Hybrid of 'Dorothy Benedict' x 'Swoosh' out of the breeding program of Doug Beilstein of Mansfield, Ohio, selected by Mark Zilis in 2005. It retains the round leaf shape of its pod parent. It's so rare to see 'Swoosh' as a pollen parent it's hard to know what he brought to the party, perhaps a more upright fountain shape than most hostas with round leaves. This is also a large hosta.
