Curly Fries Hosta
Hosta 'Curly Fries'
1 quart pot
 
A fun and distinctive miniature hosta, Curly Fries is prized for its narrow, rippled leaves in bright chartreuse to golden tones. The uniquely twisted, strap-like foliage creates a lively, textural effect that stands out in containers and small garden spaces. Its compact size makes it ideal for edging, troughs, and mixed shade containers where detail and form can be appreciated up close.
 
This variety performs best in well-drained soil with consistent moisture and benefits from some protection from intense afternoon sun. It is an excellent choice for small-scale plantings and pairs well with other fine-textured shade plants. Despite its delicate appearance, it is easy to grow and reliable once established.
