Description
Hosta 'First Blush'
The world's first red hosta!
Bob explains... "'First Blush', a small to medium hosta, not only has red petioles that extend into the leaf blade but also a thin red margin around the leaf, similar but much more dramatic than its parent 'Beet Salad'. However, the most exciting thing about 'First Blush' is that in spring the leaf between the veins will start to "blush" red from the tip of the leaf down toward the base." Bob proclaims that the leaves remain red until the temperature hits the 90's. PP#28920. (Solberg)
