'Roller Coaster Ride' is very small, though I don't think it's listed as a mini. It IS, however, somewhat smaller than 'Curly Fries', which is listed as a mini (wrongly, I think). I grow them side by side. It's been in my garden since summer 2011; so it's fairly mature. It is a stable sport of the streaked 'Ray of Hope'. It has narrow pointed green leaves with a rippled thin white margin and it does well in full sun which I tested last summer after we lost a large tree. Please feel free to share your pictures of this hosta. The hosta behind it is 'Curly Fries' and in front is 'Allan P. McConnell'.

A new year and I have to take back everything I've previously said about this plant. Apparently it is classed as "medium" in size and mine suddenly has leaves that are significantly wider than last year.
