HOSTA: It is difficult to find a garden that is without this versitile East Asian native. Lush foliage in diverse colors, heights and textures, coupled with its ability to excel in deep shade have captured gardeners’ hearts everywhere.
A 1991 Lachman hosta, 'Cherry Berry' forms a clump 14 1/2 x 12" high with 18" scapes. A leaf is 6 x 2 1/2"; the central white area is surrounded with dark green which bleeds back into the center, establishing a lighter green "bridge" between the two areas. The markings have equal amounts of white and green. The structure of the plant effectively displays the colors of cream-white, dark and light greens, and rose. The flowers are violet; bloom is in July and August..
