Brigitta couldn't resist Tony Avent's seductive name, wavy margined arching leaves, 'Elvis Lives' is still fairly new; it is true, Elvis has been sighted leaving the nursery.

Round light olive-green leaves with a very unique rippled, kinked and twisted edge that looks like it has been stitched on. Wow! White flowers faintly striped with purple. Plant in morning sun to full shade. Medium size hosta.
