Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas with hundreds of varieties readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This miniature selection, a sport of ‘Church Mouse', features clearly defined yellow margins and blue-green centres. The leaves are thick and wavy leaves, almost unruly. Soft lavender flowers appear in early summer. Good slug resistance. An outstanding Hosta for troughs, edging, the shady rock garden and miniature Hosta collection.
