Hosta 'Raspberry Parfait'

Registered in 1998 by Peter Ruh, this cultivar is the result of a cross of Hosta longipes x Hosta pycnophylla. It forms a mound about 22 inches high and 42 inches wide with ovate shaped leaves that are rippled, slightly lobed and cupped at the base with purple red petioles. Pale purple flowers bloom starting in mid September.

Similar cultivars include H. 'Condor' and H. 'Dragon's Blood'.
