Info2016 National Convention hosta in St. Louis, MO.
This sport of 'Banana Split' features super shiny green foliage that arches upward to form a large semi-upright clump at maturity.
The real surprise comes in midsummer with pink scapes and cherry red pods.
Quickly forms a dense mound of upright green leaves with very thick substance.
Red speckled seed pods turn cherry red upon maturity.
