Hosta 'Bonfire Akagi'

[M-L]  Brace yourselves, hosta fanatics, for a fiery spectacle unlike any you've seen before in your garden! Hosta 'Bonfire Akagi', the first introduction from Berend van der Wal of The Netherlands, is ready to add some heat to your shade garden. Imagine a dramatic display of deep green, lightly twisted leaves with chalky white undersides, each one playfully edged with waves. But the real showstopper is the tall, upright, deep red petioles that hold each leaf aloft like a torch. A hybrid with Hosta pycnophylla in its lineage, this magnificent hosta stands as one of the largest red-petioled varieties yet, making it a true statement piece. Hosta 'Bonfire Akagi' is a vibrant celebration of color and form that will have your garden blazing with excitement!
