Hosta "Urchin" review

Unique little hosta, leaves seen to have points at the end of the ruffles, green leaves stand out from the plant like spines, seed pods are an unusual. This unique little hosta has leaves with lots of ruffles that appear to have points at their ends. The green leaves stick up from the clump like spines, urchin spines. The scapes and seed pods are dark purple. Another winner from Doug Beilstein.
