| Info | Green hostas are too often overlooked, but you'll find it hard to overlook this new In The Country introduction! Even in the seed pot under lights, this seedling of Hosta 'Candy Dish' looked nothing like its siblings. Hosta 'Country Livewire' has long, pointed leaves that are deep green, with a nice sheen. Leaf edges turn up slightly to show white undersides, and are trimmed by lots of big, energetic ruffles. With age, the foliage tends to broaden a bit. |
