Hosta First Blush

Hosta First Blush

Introducing a hosta that will keep your customers' attention all growing season! First Blush starts out in a very striking way, bearing beautifully red-blushed foliage that is sure to turn some heads as it adorns the shady spaces in the landscape or garden . As the growing season wears on, however, the fascinating blush fades and a rich green hue takes over. Summer brings gracefully arching scapes that erupt from the low, mounding plants and produce pale purple, trumpet-shaped blooms. For a truly breathtaking shade garden presentation, we suggest planting First Blush in groups. PP28920
