Hosta Spill the Wine x Tequilla Sunrise 5.25" Pot Well Rooted Perennial Shade Plant

Humble Hen Farm & Nursery Size: 16" H x 32" W Common Name: Hosta Hosta 'Spill the Wine' x 'Tequila Sunrise' Seedling An exceptional, unregistered breeder's seedling that brings cutting-edge parentage directly to collectors, this medium-sized cross boasts some of the most dynamic traits in modern hosta hybridizing. Combining the celebrated red-stemmed genetics of Mike Vasey's 'Spill the Wine' line with the glowing, wavy form of Greg Johnson's classic 'Tequila Sunrise', it marks a major milestone for shade gardens. Long, elegant leaves emerge a brilliant, luminous chartreuse-gold in spring. The real showstopper is the architectural contrast: deeply rippled, wavy leaf margins lift gracefully away from the mound to flash highly reflective, powdery-white undersides, all carried atop intense, heavily saturated purple-red speckled petioles that run right into the leaf bases. In mid-to-late summer, robust scapes packed with rich purple-tinted pigment rise cleanly above the golden foliage mound, opening into dense, showy clusters of rich lavender flowers that provide an airy, contrasting display while drawing in native pollinators. Maturing to a beautifully balanced 16 inches tall and spreading up to 32 inches wide, its unique hybrid heritage gives it an impressive, dense mounding presence that thrives as a standalone feature or container specimen. Exceptionally hardy across Zones 3–9, it possesses the thick, heavy leaf substance passed down through its parentage, granting superb slug resistance and allowing its radiant spring gold color to hold its crisp definition far longer into the summer heat.
