Info | A small and fast growing with good substance. The long wavy leaves stand up to show off its sharp red petioles and white backs. This sharp new hosta looks fantastic in troughs and other small containers where its unique qualities can be showcased. An upright habit draws attention to the extremely bright red petioles and white backs of the long, intensely ruffled, lance shaped, green leaves. This hosta is an average to fast grower in the landscape. Lavender flowers are produced in midsummer. It was a blue ribbon winner at First Look 2005. |
