Hosta ‘Corkscrew’

 

‘Corkscrew’ is one of the most distinct green hostas. Considered a “hybridizer’s breakthrough,” this Solberg introduction (H. ‘Tortifrons’ x ‘One Man’s Treasure’) features glossy, dark green leaves that are twisted and curled like H. ‘Tortifrons’. Pale lavender flowers top the clump in mid autumn. A specimen plant for the front of the border.
