						 Rich red petioles distinguish 
				this seedling of H. 'Miss Susie' that  was registered by 
				
				Arthur Wrede of Maryland in 2005.   The fast growing medium 
				size plant reaches a height of about 12 inches and 
				spreads to 28 inches wide with ovate shaped leaves. Its foliage 
				starts the season bright gold in color but changes to light 
				green later. The leaves are ovate, slightly wavy and have faint 
				corrugation with purple-red petioles. Purple 
				flowers on crimson red scapes bloom from mid-July into August. 
				This was the hosta given to those who attended the
				
				National Convention of
				The 
				American Hosta Society in Philadelphia, PA in  2006.
