Hosta ‘Praying Hands’ is distinguished by its slender, ruffled leaves, each exhibiting a unique ‘fold’ along their midrib. Complementing these unique leaves is a delicate creamy white margin. Together, they form an upright to gently splayed clump, bringing a sense of structure and form to your garden. Especially suited for naturalised or woodland settings, the ‘Praying Hands’ pairs effortlessly with ferns, woodland geraniums, and early-blooming brunneras. While the decorative foliage remains the primary attraction, gardeners are treated to an added spectacle in mid- to late summer when lavender-blue bell-shaped flowers emerge, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
