TWIZZLER

This is one of our own introductions, (Kevin and Olga Elchuk)  a seedling of Curly Fries from 2015.  As a young plant the long narrow leaves are heavily rippled much like its parent Curly Fries.  As the plant matures, the leaves widen out with not as many ripples. The leaf color starts out a nice blue-green color in spring  but changes to green later in the season.  Petioles are a nice reddish purple which is why we named this hosta Twizzler, just like the licorice candy we used to enjoy as kids. Flowers are lavender on tall 28 inch purple scapes. Seeds are viable.
