What customers say
Customers highly value the Hosta 'Raspberry Sundae' primarily for its unique aesthetic, especially the vibrant red stems that match its name. Most buyers receive healthy, viable bare roots, leading to strong initial planting success and robust first season growth. The mature plant’s striking contrast of creamy centers, green margins, and red petioles justifies the investment for many. While a few new bare root gardeners experience slower initial emergence, the overall sentiment praises the successful delivery of a high-quality, rare specimen. The plant’s exceptional ornamental contribution to the shade garden confirms its value for those who cultivate it successfully.
