Hosta "Corkscrew" review
Alex J. Summers Distinguished Merit Hosta 2003. First Look 2002 William and Eleanor Lachman Award (Best Seedling Judges). Our latest hybridizing breakthrough. Like its parent, 'Tortifrons', the leaves are dark green and contorted but unlike its parent, it grows very well making a full clump quickly. Small clump of upright and arching twisted, shiny dark green leaves; lavender flowers in September and October, frequently on forked scapes.
