Hosta ‘Hands Up’ is a tetraploid sport of ‘Praying Hands’ with very thick, almost rubbery, twisted green leaves with a more defined cream margin. It forms an upright mound that looks distinctly different than the rest of the hosta world. We’re not sure if the name refers to a bank robbery or a hokey song but we love the look.
