Overview
Registered in 2011 from unknown parentage, 'Cyclone Wrestling' is a small hosta distinguished by its variegated foliage, dark green leaf margins with slight rippling, and an upright, moderate growth habit. The ovate leaves, measuring 6 inches long and 4 inches wide, feature a cordate base, light cupping, and light corrugation, with a slightly shiny upper surface and dull underside.
In the Garden
This compact cultivar reaches 11 inches in height and 22 inches in diameter, making it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. It thrives in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, or small woodland perennials. Its moderate growth rate and small size allow for easy integration into mixed shade beds.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during dry periods, applying water at the base to avoid leaf spot. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release formula; slug and deer damage may occur in shaded, moist conditions.
