Hosta 'Upbeat'

This Hosta fluctuans seedling was registered by Peter Ruh in 2000. This large mound of foliage with very wavy margins grows 30 inches tall and 55 inches wide. The leaves are shiny on top and of greater than average substance. It bears lavender flowers starting in late July.

These 2010 photos come from the Ralph (Herb) and Dorothy Benedict Hosta Hillside, tours and vendors at the 2010 American Hosta Society National Convention in Minnesota, Wade and Gatton Nursery and Arboretum, Toledo Botanical Garden and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
