Make the most of shady areas of your landscape or entryway with Wrinkle in Time Hosta. This hosta hybrid has all the perennial’s positives--especially its ability to thrive in shade--plus unique foliage that adds texture and color to shaded beds or containers. The variegated leaves are a showy dark green, but with creamy yellow edges. As the leaves mature, they turn to creamy white. In summer, lavender-colored flowers rise above the foliage for more color and to feed hummingbirds.
This pretty hosta is hardy in zones 3 through 9, growing to nearly 9 inches high and 15 inches wide. The flower scapes rise 20 inches above the foliage. Wrinkle in Time is a miniature hosta packed with color power and is an excellent choice for containers on shaded patios or to border structures and beds in the landscape that are shaded by trees or the house. The easy-care perennials look especially attractive when planted in a grouping in the dappled shade of a tree.
Wrinkle in Time Hosta Care
Hostas prefer soil that is evenly moist and plenty fertile with organic matter. Hostas are adaptable to most conditions except drought, so be sure to water them regularly. Containers dry out more quickly than the ground, so it is important to observe and set up a schedule to water container-grown hostas.
Adding a low-nitrogen fertilizer in spring can help your hosta thrive. Be sure to choose a slow-release formula, which will give the plants a little bit of food over a long period. Hostas are subject to damage from overfertilizing or from granular formulas coated with substances like sulfur or urea. This hosta needs little care or pruning. Trim off dead leaves after first frost to prepare the plant for its winter rest, and cut flower scapes to foliage level after flowers fade.
Wrinkle in Time Hosta Spacing
Hostas can take a few years to reach their full mature size, so consider the size when placing groups of hostas in a row or a mass planting. Space each Wrinkle in Time Hosta about 25 inches from the center or the next.

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.

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).

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.
