Hosta 'Wrinkle in Time' is a smaller counterpart to the wildly popular, super ruffled Hosta 'Wheee!' Hosta 'Wrinkle in Time' was discovered as a similar sport, but from Hosta 'Pilgrim'. The 10" tall x 30" wide clump is composed of small green leaves edged in a creamy yellow border that's so wavy, it comes with a motion sickness warning. We recommend the addition of 2 Dramamine tablets in each planting hole to prevent future dizziness. In summer, the edge color brightens and the waviness calms down a bit, only to resume next spring. In late spring, the clumps are topped with an attractive show of purple flowers on 15" tall scapes.
