Hi,

I'm growing it and so far I'm surprised by how much red it has. Some of the new leaves on mine are almost completely covered with red. And it is a good grower too!

Interested to see how long the red lasts into the season. I saw on the hostapix group that one of the hybridizers has come up with one that has red all over the leaves but it isn't a strong grower, there will have to be some improving done on that one before it can be released.

I love that one, it might have to be on my wish list for next spring!

wooooooooooooooo,where did you buy yours?
I need Just1more.

Of course you do, cAROL!!! Buy, buy, buy!! ;o))

cAROL, I got Purple Heart from a nursery about 60 miles sw of me (Romence Gardens, Portage, Michigan).

This spot is perfect for Hostas, full morning sun. I love to watch the sun rise and hit this area. Of course, this was the part of the bed I made the smallest. Hmmm... I bet more of the front lawn will be gone next spring!

I just moved Miss Ruby that I have in a pot in the same area, I want to see if the red on her intensifies. If I knew something about cross-pollinating, I would cross this one with Miss Ruby. Maybe the bees will do it for me, Neither Miss Ruby or Purple Heart have sent up any scapes yet.

Gesila

I will have to see if I can find one,really pretty,I hope you can cross-pollinate her Gesila,they should bloom at the same time.The two, would make a stunning hosta for sure.
Oh Janice,
You probley already own,purple Heart, or you would be drooling right along with me,shame on you,encouraging me to buy,Buy,BUY.:0)
