Hosta Purple Heart will form a medium sized mound of 18"-22" in height, with a spread of up to 24", at maturity. It is a vigorous, clump-forming, Hosta with deep maroon stems bearing broadly lance-shaped to ovate, mid-green leaves, maroon at the base. One of the most neat and uniform habits of any Hosta. The short petioles are almost black. Sturdy, maroon scapes bearing racemes of bell-shaped, purple flowers on 30" tall scapes, appear in summer. Good slug resistance and tolerates a little sun. A very popular variety for most collectors and visitors.
