    Hosta Wheee was found by Bill Meyer at a garden center without a label. He recognized it as something special and introduced it in 2011. It may be a sport of Hosta Leola Fraim. It has wonderfully ruffled leaves, which are green with cream-colored margins. The leaves are ruffled even in the juvenile stage and have good slug resistance. The medium-sized plants, when mature, are topped with light lavender blooms on purple scapes. This is one of those hostas you will recognize after you have seen it once. A choice hosta with a good growth rate. The form provides good contrast with the form of other hostas in the garden.

    Bought mine in 2011 as a one eyed, 1st yr TC plant. This year it has three eyes. Seems to be a moderate grower for me. It's growing in a full sun spot now, so I shall see how much it jumps in size next year.

    Update (June 3 2014)

    Wheee! did jump in size this year to 10 eyes. Seems to do well in full sun; it continuously grows new leaves throughout the season and doesn't seem to get scorched by the sun, as long as it gets enough water. And I love saying its name.
