Past Benedict Garden Performance Award Winners
Honorable Mention Award (HM)
The Honorable Mention Award is the first award to be presented for superior garden performance. The list of HM nominees each year will consist of hosta cultivars that are nominated by their originators or by the Board of Directors of the American Hosta Society, and that have been registered for at least three years prior to the year of nomination. A hosta cultivar is to be considered registered on the date of approval of the registration by the Registrar.
Award of Merit (AM)
The Award of Merit is the second highest Garden Performance Award offered by The American Hosta Society. It is selected from previous Honorable Mention Award winners. Each cultivar awarded an HM Award becomes eligible for the Award of Merit.
Benedict Medal for Garden Performance
The Benedict Medal is the highest Garden Performance Award offered by The American Hosta Society. The award is named in honor of Dr. Herb Benedict, a pioneer in hosta hybridizing. It is selected from previous Award of Merit winners. Each cultivar awarded an Award of Merit becomes eligible to receive the Benedict Medal.
