Hosta "Midnight Oil" review
The Stegemans really came up with something special when they created 'Midnight Oil' by crossing 'Neat Splash Rim' (an old Florence Shaw plant) onto 'Potomac Pride'. The result is a plant that was amazingly dark despite being planted in a lot of direct sun. No special fertilizers or anything were used, and the plant was there for three years.
