#1 Hosta Lipstick Blush/ Green, Yellow Variegated w/ Red Petiole

Product Details

Magenta-red petioles support elongated, green and chartreuse leaves with wavy edges. The variegated leaves lend the sport a layer of color beyond its similar red-stemmed and chartreuse-leaved parent, Lipstick Blonde. In summer, tube-shaped, lavender flowers appear on scapes above the colorful foliage.
