It appears that this group of hostas
is a case of confused names. Carl Mack who was a
horticulturist and nursery owner in the Chicago area
accumulated a group of hostas in the 1950s and offered
them for sale in the 1960s. The plants were sold under
the name of his nursery, "Mackwoods", along with a number.
The cultivars listed below are those that
have been identified with their real name or which have
been named by other
Hostaphiles but may have been sold
as a "Mackwoods" plant decades ago. |
