One of the smallest hostas available! A flashy Lilliputian with tiny white centered leaves edged in green…a mere 4" tall and 6" wide, place this where it won't get lost. Even our slugs overlook this hosta! Purple summer flowers…most soils, part shade, a dainty mini ground cover or rock garden specimen, also sweet in a pot!
Masquerade' is a perfect choice for the front of the shaded rock garden or in trough gardens. It forms clumps of tiny white centered leaves edged by a green margin. Purple flowers top the clumps in summer. A flashy hosta sure to capture the attention of the miniature hosta collector. 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!
A white centered sport of Hosta venusta with a fine green edge, it looks a bit like a miniature White Christmas, they were a sellout the last time we offered them.
Cute, lance shaped, wavy leaves ivory white with dark green edges aging to green by late summer. Pale lavender with purple striped flowers in mid summer. Plant in afternoon to full shade. Miniature hosta.
