Hosta 'Curly Fries' (Plantain Lily)

Plantain Lily 'Curly Fries', 'Curly Fries' Hosta


An irresistible miniature Hosta, 'Curly Fries' (Plantain Lily) forms a fine-textured, arching mound of extremely rippled, lance-shaped, pale chartreuse leaves. Star-like lavender flowers appear in midsummer, just above the foliage, rising on scapes 16 in. long (40 cm). Position this hosta where it will receive morning sun, as its chartreuse foliage will be brightest there. Mature plants will develop red speckled petioles. Ideal for the rock garden, containers or edging.
