| Info | A variegated seedling of 'Katsuragawa Beni' hybridized by Mr. Nora of Japan. Green leaves with a narrow, creamy yellow margin are held on stunning crimson red petioles. The red spotting extends up onto the leaves, a very desirable trait sought after by hosta hybridizers and collectors. Deep lavender flowers are produced in midsummer. |
