Plant Type: Hostas

This little, green hybrid from Doug Beilstein is a cup overflowing with character. ‘Fruit Cup’ has almost perfectly round, dark green leaves that form shallow cups. The substance is excellent, and the foliage becomes strongly puckered with age. Hosta ‘Fruit Cup’ is not a fast grower, but grows steadily into a compact clump about 8″ tall and 15″ across that blooms in late summer with fertile, lavender flowers.
