Hosta – First Blush – #1 Container

Description

First Blush Hosta is a unique and eye-catching variety that brings unexpected color to the shade garden. This compact selection forms low, dense mounds of green foliage accented with distinctive brick-red blushing and red-tinted margins, creating a striking contrast rarely seen in hostas. Its attractive foliage provides season-long interest and makes First Blush Hosta an excellent choice for brightening shaded beds, borders, woodland gardens, and container plantings.

In mid-summer, tall flower scapes emerge above the foliage, displaying clusters of lavender-purple blooms that add another layer of color and charm. Easy to grow and maintain, First Blush Hosta thrives in partial shade to full shade and prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil. Its compact size, unusual foliage coloration, and versatile growth habit make First Blush Hosta a standout choice for border edging, mass plantings, groundcover, and decorative containers.

Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
