Hosta 'Curly Fries'
From my garden
Curly Fries went into the same back bed on planting day and it's one of the smallest hostas I grow: narrow, twisted, rippled chartreuse leaves that stand out even before the clump fills in. Good for the front edge of a bed where a bigger hosta would swallow it whole.
