InfoGrows larger and more vigorous than 'Cherry Berry', polyploidy suspected.
One of the most commented about hostas in the garden. Found in a bed of 'Cherry Berry' so it may be a seedling or sport but is 50% larger. Center white much more narrow than 'Cherry Berry' and color much deeper and dramatic. Bright red petioles and seed pods are striking. Very vigorous grower-unlike 'Cherry Berry'. Small/medium.
