Harini Korlipara & Gary Gossett/Terra Nova. This hosta is not yet registered. ” PP22685 (24/4/2012).
Lovely compact Hosta with beautifully variegated leaves and striking deep burgundy petioles, leaf bases, and flower stalks. Terra Nova worked on this one for many years perfecting the combination of variegation and introducing the red pigmentation to the foliage. (10″ X  22″ plant height to width. Scapes are 26″ tall and the flower color is deep lavender-purple in August. This description written by Hugo Phillips who writes and maintains MyHostas Overview…… in superb fashion of course! The picture I have included is the first one credited on the Hosta Library as taken by Vladimir Mirka. We noticed last year that keeping this looking nice as pictured requires consistent moisture and some slug control as the critters seem to enjoy the center of the leaves in our gardens. We hope that’s not your experience.
