Hosta named after tennis star Andy Murray

Brookfield Plants is launching Hosta ‘Andy Murray’ at the Chelsea Flower Show in cooperation with the British Hosta & Hemerocallis Society.  Raised by Bob Solberg, the variegated leaves of this cultivar represent the colours of the Scottish Saltire – woven between the blue leaf centre and the wide white margin is a broken line of gold flashing, reminiscent of Andy’s Olympic Gold Medal.
