More Information
H. Curly Fries was registered as a miniature hosta but within 2-3 years of its being marketed in the U.S. many who bought it found it grew much larger than its registered 6″, sometimes to as much as 15″. It was bred in the southern U.S. where the hot climate seems to have reduced its size. Many of those who reported it growing over-size lived in northern states where the climate is much cooler. Our three year old plants, growing in 1.5 litre pots are around 7″ tall so it seems to ‘bonsai’ well. Whatever its size it is a striking and unusual Hosta. It bleaches in sun, providing the best show in light shade.
