Hosta 'Curly Fries' || Hosta of the Year 2016
Hosta 'Curly Fries' features very wavy, narrow, super thick leaves that give a "spidery" appearance. Bob adds "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". It is recommended that to get a very special effect this new beauty should be grown in half a day of sun where its foliage will fade to near white. To add even further interest the 24" tall scape is deep purple, topped with lavender flowers. (Solberg 2008)
Each year the American Hosta Growers Association selects 'the best of the best', and honors one variety as "Hosta of the Year". These special selections are acknowledged for being unique, easy to grow and loved by many. These plants are usually the cornerstones of most hosta collector's gardens making these selections a good choice for beginning collectors and gardeners alike.

Our plant photos are a representation of mature specimens. The plants we sell are not fully grown but they are well established and happily on their way to becoming all they can be. Don't forget that young hostas need another year or more to show their full color, size, shape and texture. Hostas, also known as Plantain Lily, are hardy garden perennials (they come back every year). Our plants are professionally grown and are guaranteed free from disease, including 'Hosta Virus X'. If you want the best you have come to the right place!
Our plants have been over-wintered here in the upper Midwest to ensure strength and hardiness and to encourage blooming the first year in your garden. Our plants are grown outdoors where Mother Nature helps us produce the best plants possible. Our potted plants can be planted at your convenience, just keep them outdoors and watered until you are ready to put them into the ground. Never grow this plant indoors. We include complete planting instructions with all orders. This plant is ready for your garden!
