Medium-sized sport of 'Paradise Island'. Better leaf substance, a more vigorous growth rate, and more striking colours all improve upon its parent. Red petioles. This was an impulse buy in 2015 and I bought it from Loblaws garden centre rather than my local hosta nursery because the plants were twice as large and half the price. I did keep it in a pot for the season. It held up well all season. Please feel free to post your pictures of this hosta.
