Hosta ‘Little Red Rooster’

Description

Hosta ‘Little Red Rooster’ is a distinctive and compact variety, prized for its unique red stems (petioles) that provide a striking contrast to its fresh green, slightly wavy leaves. This eye-catching colour combination adds vibrant interest to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or containers. In summer, tall spikes of pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies. Reaching a mature height of around 30-35cm, ‘Little Red Rooster’ is ideal for small spaces or for adding pops of colour in mixed hosta plantings. Hardy, easy to grow, and low maintenance, it thrives in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil.
