Hosta 'Tilt-a-Whirl'

[S] A twirly, swirly addition to Bob Solberg's magical hosta carnival. Always trying to push the envelop, Bob set out to create a blue version of his wild and wacky 'Corkscrew' by crossing 'Corkscrew' x 'June'. He succeeded! 'Tilt-a-Whirl' has long, narrow leaves that are folded, wavy, and twisted. In the spring, the thick, leathery leaves are a nice blue color that slowly melts away to deep, glossy green by mid summer. Hosta 'Tilt-a-Whirl' forms a twisted, upright clump about 11" tall and 18" across that looks perfect all season long. Fertile, pale lavender flowers bloom on short, sturdy scapes in the fall.
