Description
A small hosta, 'The Razor's Edge' really loves to "show off" in a decorative container where its distinctive qualities can be easily displayed. The upright habit showcases bright red leaf stalks that lead up to long, ruffled, lance shaped, green leaves. As the season progresses the stalks deepen to a dark red. A Blue Ribbon at First Look 2005 award winner, Hosta 'The Razor's Edge' also has lavender flowers that are produced in midsummer.
