Hosta (Mini) ‘Cherry Tomato’
Hosta 'Cherry Tomato' is a mini hosta with red leaf and flower stems, dark purple flowers and linear, variegated foliage.
A unique miniature sport of ‘Cherry Berry’ with improved leaf substance and vigour. Long, lance-shaped leaves are creamy yellow to white with wide, dark green margins and with red speckling on the petioles (leaf stems). Attractive purple flowers are held on striking red stems. Miniature hostas are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border or along pathways. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one!
