Info | Wavy leaves. This hosta can easily be distinguished by its coarsely wavy leaves. It forms a cute miniature clump of thick, blue-green to green leaves and matures into a small, compact mound that is just the right size for troughs or the front of the border. This "mouse" develops an "embroidered" edge as it matures, extremely ruffled and even serrate. It seems to have one type of unusual tissue on the margin and normal "mouse" tissue in the leaf center. |
