[S-M] 2011 Hosta of the Year 'Praying Hands' is unlike any hosta you’ve ever seen! When I hear garden visitors excitedly question "What's THAT!?" I know they have found 'Praying Hands'. This one-of-a-kind plant has long, waxy green leaves that have a narrow, wavy cream margin. The leaves are folded and rolled into a tube-like form to give the appearance of “praying hands!” Grows steadily into a strictly upright clump to 18" tall and wide. A fun plant to underplant with miniature hostas. Whether you love it or hate it, there is no doubt that Hosta 'Praying Hands' is one of the most distinct and instantly recognizable hostas around! Pale lavender flowers in mid summer.

(G. Williams - 1996)
