Details

Looks like no other hosta! Unusually tight, folded dark-green, crinkled leaves and yellow-gold margin turning white on the end of a long, upright petiole. Each green leaf is rolled and folded into a tube shape, displaying the prominent veins on the back and shiny underside - very unique. So different it is a conversation piece! Gerry Williams discovered this hosta while shopping at a nursery near Pequot Lakes, MN. He thought the folded leaves look like hands folded in prayer. Lavender flowers on an 18" scape.
