Hosta First Blush will form a small mound of 10"-14" in height, with a spread of up to 26" at maturity. It not only has green leaves with red petioles that extend into the leaf blade but also a thin red margin around the leaf. The most exciting thing about Hosta 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. The colour persists for most of the season fading eventually to green, before losing its leaves. Pale purple flowers appear on scapes of up to 20" tall, in Jul & Aug. Not known to be slug resistant, but will tolerate early morning & afternoon sun. A rare unusual specimen.
