Sorry. We get so used to using some terms, that it is easy to forget
,not everyone knows them. "Drawstring" is the tendancy for excessive
cupping. It results from the edge of a hosta leaf actually starting to
dry slightly, while the rest of the leaf keeps on growing and
expanding. This produces a very unplesant look. Definatly not
desirable. Unfortunatly if a leaf with a cupped form, does this once,
it will no doubt, repete in some years. Just an example one of the many
reasons why Hostas need long term evaluation.
