In The Country Exclusive!

Limited first release!

[M] Prepare for an explosion of vibrant color with Hosta 'Country Flamethrower'! This sensational 'Evening Inferno' hybrid from Don Dean is designed to ignite your shade garden with its fiery charm, offering a dynamic contrast that truly sets it apart. Get ready for a display that burns bright all season long!

This semi-upright, 14" tall and 32" wide clump erupts with brilliant bright yellow, twisted leaves that have beautiful wavy edges, creating a lively, undulating texture. But the real showstopper lies beneath: the foliage is held proudly aloft on intensely saturated burgundy petioles! These deep, rich stems provide a dramatic contrast, looking as if they're smoldering beneath the vibrant leaves. As the season progresses, the yellow leaves gradually turn greener, only to be refreshed by a second flush of bright, new foliage.

In late summer, striking deep burgundy scapes emerge, topped with delicate pale lavender flowers. Hosta 'Country Flamethrower' is not just a beauty; it's fertile flowers make it a valuable player for hybridizers too!
