Wheee!  PPAF
'Wheee!' comes up in the spring as the most amazing curly, twisty bunch of hosta shoots you'll ever see. When it leafs out, it curls and twists like no margined plant ever has in the history of hostadom. It is just way cool. It is a good solid grower to boot that holds up well through the season and never ever loses it's curliness. Margin width varies from year to year, sometimes being fairly narrow and other times fairly wide.
