Plant Type: Hostas

‘First Blush’ not only has green leaves with red petioles that extend into the leaf blade but also a thin red margin around the leaf. However, the most exciting thing about ‘First Blush’ is that in spring the leaf between the veins will start to “blush” red from the tip of the leaf down toward the base.
