| ‘Tortifrons’ is called Kogarashi Giboshi, the “autumn wind hosta,” was found in a garden near Tokyo by Okami. It was reduced to cultivar rank by Schmid (1991). It must be vegetatively propagated to retain its very narrow, twisted leaves. It is very late blooming (“in the autumn wind”), and is fertile with some of the seedlings exhibiting its odd twisted appearance. It appears to be a highly unusual longipes mutation found in the wild. Difficult to grow well. |
