Hosta 'Hands Up' ®

This is the tetraploid of Hosta 'Praying Hands' , with a notably wider yellow edge to enhance the uniquely upright folded growth. The lavender flowers are also larger than H . 'Praying Hands', and clear to see against the twisted leaves. Bred by Marco Fransen in The Netherlands, this is a remarkably different hosta which will cause plenty of comment. Bowdens had the privilege of launching H. 'Hands Up' at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2011.
