Curly Fries is a well-loved, award-winning hosta that is easy to grow in the shady garden. The chartreuse foliage has narrow leaves that have a unique rippled edge that lends an extraordinary textured effect to a shady garden scene. This is a small hosta variety that only reaches 6” in height, and 16” in spread. This petite growth habit is another aspect of the Curly Fries Hosta that makes it exceptional. You won’t find another Hosta quite like it!
Curly Fries Hosta is a hardy and adaptable perennial in Zones 3-9. It adds bright color and one-of-a-kind texture to part-shade gardens, containers, borders, and edging. Try this small hosta in a rock garden or a narrow, small-scale garden to make the most of its small size.
Curly Fries Hosta Care
This is an adaptable and easy-to-grow hosta that requires partial to full shade. Site in a location that enjoys morning sun to get the most vibrant foliage. Acidic-to-neutral soil pH is best for this plant. Plant in moist, organic soil for best performance. Well-drained soil is ideal. Be sure to keep Curly Fries watered in dry spells.
Slugs or snails could damage the foliage of this hosta, but if you keep your eye out for them and remove them before they start their feast, you can prevent damage. Cut flower stems after bloom to encourage vigorous growth. Damaged or discolored leaves should be cut back to the ground.
Curly Fries Hosta Spacing
This is a small Hosta variety that does not require much space in the garden. Allow for 16” of space from other plants to allow room for the narrow leaves to arch and show off their rippled edges.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
