What Is a Hosta Show?
A hosta show, also called a leaf show, displays the variety of colors, sizes, textures and patterns of leaves in hosta plants. In addition to leaves, you will see containers and arrangements using hosta as the primary element and educational exhibits.
The leaf show is organized by the official classification of hosta varieties. Classification places each variety of hosta based on its leaf color, pattern and size.
