2015 - July 03. This was new to me in 2015 and is being grown in a pot for now. By early July it had completely greened up. Maybe I need to find a spot with more sun.

Re: Hosta of the Day - Fruit Punch
My Fruit Punch is getting "cooked" in my new garden. Some of the early leaves are disintegrating.
Hopefully those later leaves can handle the midday sun.
That's Galaxy on the left and Cleopatra on the right with Jaz lighting up the center.

My Fruit Punch is buried in a sea of red cardinal flower weedlings - the hummingbirds love it.
