| Info | A Small-medium size (22"x12"high) mounding plant with light green, lightly twisted leaves, with purplish RED petioles with red specks running up into the leaf. A good breeder for red in hostas. H. 'Rusty Bee' (Malloy '98) overs the breeder and collector both a treat. RB forms a 12"x22" mound of light green foliage highlighted with purplish red running up the petioles and into the leaf blade – nice. |
