Wrinkle in Time Hosta

Hosta 'Wrinkle in Time'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Family: Asparagaceae

Plant Description: This cultivar of Hosta has wavy leaf margins that start out buttery-yellow in the spring and turn white in summer, with streaks leading into rich green centers. Adds great texture to shady parts of the garden and pairs well with other varieties of Hosta. Tall spikes of pale purple, bell-shaped flowers are a bonus.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous

Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
