Hosta 'Fruit Loop'

The delightful Hosta 'Fruit Loop' injects a vibrant, high-contrast personality into tiny shade pockets and decorative trough gardens. Masterfully bred by Doug and Mardy Beilstein, this highly sought-after small hybrid defies traditional mini-hosta traits by building a dense, perfectly tailored mound of heavy-substance foliage that displays exceptional slug resistance. The nearly round, three-inch leaves open with dark emerald-green centers circled by an exceptionally wide, bright creamy-white margin that maintains its crisp, eye-catching definition all season. As the plant matures, the leaves develop an impressive, deeply puckered and cupped corrugation that adds rich tactile depth, completing its late-summer show with tidy stems carrying fertile lavender blooms.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
