Hosta 'Chris' Alien Species'

Hosta 'Chris' Alien Species'[M] If hostas were ever to be found on another planet, they might look like this! 'Chris' Alien Species' is a seedling from 'Sourpuss' with green, distorted foliage. The leaves are smooth, with somewhat wavy edges, and are strangely folded, pleated, and twisted.
