H. 'Raspberry Sorbet'
Always eager to add 'red legs' to the Hosta assortment, this small gem joined us from Chatham, ON, on June 12/09. I look forward to seeing it develop
over the course of the year.
Give them a few days, keep them well hydrated, and they bounce right back.
As you can see, it settled right in and was happy enough to send up a scape and with all that maroon speckling it is easy to see how it ended up
with it's name. It flowers quite late, this picture is from September 6th.
A day later and the first bud has opened. As the plant grows and develops into a clump I can well imagine the showing a stand of scapes and flowers
will make, can't wait for that to happen.
Not only does it have gorgeous flowers, like most of its red-legged cousins it's an early riser. Here it is March 4th 2010, and it's well up-n-at-it. Not only that,
look at all the new shoots this year!
