A charming miniature variety, Hosta 'Curly Fries' is an herbaceous perennial prized for its unique foliage, adding interest to the garden through summer. This petite hosta features lance-shaped, intensely rippled, pale chartreuse leaves that glow brightest with a bit of morning sun. In early summer, 16-inch scapes carry delicate, star-like lavender flowers that attract hummingbirds, enhancing its ornamental appeal.
With its compact, mounded form and moderate growth rate, Hosta 'Curly Fries' is a versatile addition to any garden. It adapts well to containers, even in urban settings where it tolerates air pollution. 'Curly Fries' makes a lovely edging plant and stands out when massed in beds or borders.
Low-maintenance and easy to grow, 'Curly Fries' thrives in dappled to full shade and requires rich, moist, well-drained soil. Though it prefers not to dry out, this hosta is sun tolerant and naturally resistant to slugs, making it a hardy choice for shade gardens.
