"Considering Concordville" is a Hosta cultivar prized for its striking red petioles (leaf stalks) that provide a beautiful contrast to its elongated green leaves. These petioles emerge bright red in the spring and gradually deepen to a wine-red hue as the season progresses. This trait makes it particularly desirable for gardens and container planting where its "red legs" can be showcased. Award-winning: Winner of the William and Eleanor Lachman Award at the 2012 First Look Competition. Striking appearance: Upright growth habit with elongated green leaves held on intense purple-red petioles, creating an elegant vase shape. Moderate size: Reaches a mature size of approximately 18 inches tall and 28 inches wide. Late summer blooms: Produces lavender flowers in late summer. Hybridizing potential: A cross of 'Beet Salad' x 'Grateful Red', making it a valuable tool for those interested in hybridizing red-stemmed hostas. Growing conditions: Thrives in light to full shade and prefers moist, humus-rich soil with good drainage. Zone hardiness: Suitable for gardens in USDA Zones 3-9.
