Hosta 'Wrinkle in Time'

Hosta 'Wrinkle in Time' gives a lovely wavy texture to the landscape. It has dark green leaves with creamy yellow margins in the spring that turn creamy white in the summer and distinct wavy margins that begin about a third of the way from the base of the leaf. In midsummer, lavender flowers appear and make a beautiful contrast to the leaves. A sport of Hosta 'Pilgrim'.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content and slightly acidic to neutral pH. They prefer slightly sandy soil over heavy clays as they need aeration for the roots. Grow in high-filtered or dappled sunlight--they can tolerate morning sun but not hot afternoon sun. Hostas are prone to slugs and deer browsing, though some kinds with thicker foliage may not be damaged as badly. Apply slug bait in early spring before the leaves have unfurled to prevent damage. Divide large clumps, if necessary, in spring when sprouts appear, or late summer. Remove dead foliage from the garden in late fall to early winter.
