Description
Red Blue Hosta pairs blue-green ribbed foliage with striking burgundy-red leaf stems, giving this shade perennial colour interest that ordinary green hostas lack even before the lavender flower spikes appear. Clumps build steadily into generous weed-suppressing mounds under trees and along shaded walls.
