A white line clearly separates the center and the border. Flowers are lavender. I love this hosta very much, I take pictures of it all the time in the summer! 08:28 Hosta Praying Hands was bred by Jerry Williams in 1996. The hosta has a medium size - M, reaches 40 cm in height, up to 70 cm in width. Very hard, elongated dark green leaves have a waxy sheen and a very thin yellow ribbed edge. They fold into wavy ones, giving a twisted appearance and look like many hands folded in prayer. This feature was the reason for the name of this hosta. 09:26 HOSTA WHEEE! (WEEEE!) - Bill Meyer / Carol Brashear, M. The most amazing hosta with a bunch of curly, twisted shoots of green color with a thin golden rim. It grows well and never loses its curl. 10:15 And now about how to plant hostas and how to properly make a border out of them. First, you need to understand how much space you can allocate for the border and, based on this, you need to choose hosts of the appropriate size. You also need to consider where in the garden your place is for the border, if it is shade, then you need to choose hosts with a blue tint, in the sun you need to plant hosts of more yellow shades or just green. You also need to consider the distance at which you need to plant hosts from each other. For example, if in the description of the host its width is indicated as 30 cm, then in this case the distance from the center of one host to the center of another should be 30 cm.
