Hosta of the Day - Mardi Gras Parade

Post by redcrx »

Mardi Gras Parade is a streaked sport of Stepping Out from Kevin Vaughn.

I have had this beautiful plant since 2012 but have only one good photo. I have even started seeds from it and I have more photos of its seedlings than of the original plant - weird how some plants just get missed or taken for granted.

While I was out getting photos of 'Christmas Tree Gala' today, I decided to look for the pot of 'Mardi Gras Parade'. It wasn't too hard to find. I have it growing in a lot of shade - I think it need more light to get bigger.
