Hosta Bullfrog

Bullfrog is a truly distinctive collector’s hosta and an eye-catching sport of the classic Krossa Regal. Introduced by Wally Hoover, this small hosta is prized for its unpredictable variegation, twisted foliage, and one-of-a-kind appearance.

Each blue-green leaf features a creamy white center dramatically streaked with shades of blue-green, creating a unique pattern that is never repeated. The blue-green margins vary in width and may even display narrow white streaks, giving every leaf its own personality. Slightly glossy and beautifully twisted, the foliage provides exceptional texture and interest from spring through fall.

Bullfrog forms a compact, upright clump that reaches approximately 13 inches tall and 20 inches wide, making it perfect for the front of a shade border, containers, or a collector’s garden. While it’s not a fast grower, its extraordinary foliage makes it well worth the wait.

If you love unusual hostas that stand out from the crowd, Bullfrog is sure to become a favorite in your collection.
