| Info | Hosta of the Year for 2016 (HOTY). Unique highly ruffled narrow lanceolate leafs. I will add that the agave-looking leaves are stiff as a board and you can see that our award winning 'Curly Fries' is the most unique hosta to be introduced in some time. Best grown in half a day of sun, its highly ruffled narrow leaves emerge yellow and then fade to near white. The scape is deep purple, topped with lavender flowers. It makes a great container plant or grows very well in the garden. You just have to touch it. Interesting plant from Bob Solberg that has been anticipated for several years , extremely ruffled narrow leaves emerge yellow and slowly turn to near-white. Best grown in a half day sun and deep purple scapes will be topped with lavender flowers. |
