InfoFrom H. 'Revolution' (Eijk-Bos/Walters Gardens 2000) came H. 'American Hero' (Walters Gardens/Hans Hansen 2009), and now we have H. 'Buffalo Soldier’. Viktoria Serafin found this exemplary sport at Glenbrook Farm. It has never before been shared. This good soldier displays its foliage like a badge of honor. Corrugated leaves of excellent substance reveal a blaze of chartreuse surrounded by a wide margin of darker green that ends in a sharp tip. The mature clump size will be approximately 35 inches wide x 14 inches high. H. 'Buffalo Soldier' is ranked by Viktoria as a speedy grower. Observed for several years, it is stable.
