Hosta 'Chris' Darkest Purple'

[M] From Germany comes this richly colored seedling of 'Valley's Ruffle Shuffle' developed by Christina Brinkmann. As its name implies, 'Chris' Darkest Purple' has completely saturated, deep purple petioles that push color well into the base of each leaf. The green leaves are a bit glossy, narrow and pointed, with some waviness to the margins. Hosta 'Chris' Darkest Purple' blooms in late summer with flowers held on scapes just as colorful as the petioles.
