Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dazzling silver blue rounded leaves (ears) make quite a statement for such a mini of a plant, so perfect and symmetrical they look almost artificial. 6” tall clumping out to 12” wide. This one will take more sun than others. Who needs jewels? Give me a box of mini hostas instead! USDA Z3

Very tiny like a diminutive venusta, it is perfect in a trough.
