Hosta "Nippers" review
'Nippers' is a very dark green small clump of round puckered 2" leaves. Leaves are held quite upright and have an architectural look as they are generally held at 90% to the stem and parallel the ground. The pod parent is Hosta 'Fascination' and the pollen donor is h. 'Black Beauty'. Nippers is a small 8"-10" good grower and has attractive pink to near pink bell shaped blossoms on a 12" scape. It is fertile and generously passes along its best characteristics including round leaves.
