Description / Hosta 'Cherry Berry' Plantain Lily
Hosta 'Cherry Berry' is smaller in stature than most, only growing 12 to 18 inches tall with a similar widthperfect for small-space gardens. This delicate beauty has finely textured lance-shaped leaves with irregular green margins and a white to cream-colored center. The spectacularly variegated leaves are accentuated by long, elegant, cherry red scapes in summer that bear purple flowers, followed by cherry red seed pods in fall. The blooms are a favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies and also make delightful additions to mixed floral arrangements.
A Hosta hybrid, commonly called simply hosta or plantain lily, 'Cherry Berry' is a long-lived, shade-loving perennial, hardy in Zones 4-8. It has a compact, mounding habit and establishes fairly quickly, though it takes several years to reach its full potential. But each year, it grows more impressive. Perfect for mass plantings, 'Cherry Berry' creates beautiful ground cover or graceful drifts through the garden. But it's a great addition to garden borders, beds, containers, and is perfect for edging the shade garden. It complements spring bulbs by covering fading foliage and is ideal for growing under the canopy of large trees.
Along with its stunning beauty, 'Cherry Berry' hosta is beloved for its adaptability and easy care. It thrives in dappled to full shade, preferring rich, moist, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. While tolerant of various conditions, it requires consistent watering to prevent drying out. A yearly application of slow-release fertilizer helps keep it looking its best.
In spring, plant 'Cherry Berry' hosta roots 1½ to 2 inches deep, spacing them 12 inches apart for optimal growth.
