Another great miniature Hosta!! Long, narrow, bright yellow leaves with very curly edges on plants 4" tall, expanding to about 12" bright shade or some morning sun for best foliage color. Lavender flowers late summer, slightly fragrant. Place in a spot where it can be appreciated... also great pot performer and excellent for the part shade rock garden too.

The leaves are yellow, arching and narrow with a wavy edge. Lavender flowers bloom on 10" upright scapes in late summer. Use in trough or rock gardens the unusual wavy make these hostas unique!

Dragon Tails' forms a fast growing clump of long, narrow yellow leaves with a wonderful miniature wavy edge. The small clump would be equally at home in a rock garden, trough garden, or in a shaded woodland border. Lavender flowers top the clump in midsummer. 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!
