A sleek and shiny green, 'Maya Kingsnake' is a medium sized plant with new leaves showing red well up into the central leaf vein, petioles red front and back, and gently undulating leaf edges.
In August the scapes come slithering up through the foliage, a deeply saturated, dense red which appears pure black. As the scapes elongate the bracts emerge with a bright center, revealing violet buds and finally purple flowers into September.
Extremely fertile both ways.
Hosta 'Maya Kingsnake' closed at $325.00 at the 2005 AHS benefit auction.
