Candy Dish

Hosta "Candy Dish" review

Very unique small plant with heart shaped with very piecrust edges. The shiny, round to ovate leaves have margins like piped icing, deliciously long tips, and sugar-coated backs. Hybridizers smile when they see the reddish scapes sprinkled with purple flowers because 'Candy Dish' passes dainty ruffles on to its progeny.
