This fast growing sport of 'Shiny Penny' features wavy chartreuse-yellow leaves edged with a narrow green margin. Tiny lavender flowers top the 12 inch wide clump in midsummer. A nice addition to the popular group of miniature hostas. Miniature hostas are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border or along pathways. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one!

'Cracker Crumbs' ranks as one of my favorite miniature hostas for its easy and vigorous growth and bright color. Leaves are a beautiful bright yellow with a narrow green margin. Clumps are very low, flat, and spreading; and are topped with lavender flowers in the summer. Use 'Cracker Crumbs' in containers or as a groundcover in the garden. Spreads vigorously.
