That he is.

He is widely quoted as say something to the effect that American men do not
know how to garden as it requires crawling about on your hands and knees. American men use long tools and never see their plants. He also said the
beloved American developed hybrid hosta is a great American cabbage. What is
not not to love?
I am fairly new to hosta - but I know several people who refer to the American Hosta Society as the cabbage and kale group.

I find it interesting that in general, the Brits don't seem to do hosta. It seems to me that hosta and the British climate are tailor made for each other!
