Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hosta 'Munchkin Fire' is a vigorous, miniature, gold plantain lily. It has short, narrow, lance-shaped leaves that hold their bright yellow colour all season long with lavender flowers in midsummer. Miniature Hosta are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border, in shady rock gardens, tucked into small spaces, and along pathways. Or mass plant as a small scale ground cover. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one! Attracts bees and hummingbirds.
Vigorous new fairy sized mini, a symmetrical arching fountain of narrow bright yellow leaves in clumps eventually 7” tall and 15” wide AND the glowing color is stable all season! Perfect in a pot or trough, along a pathway, in a rock garden or as a spot of bright in the woodland garden... average soil, moisture, morning sun or bright shade for maximum brightness; lavender blooms above foliage late summer. SWEET!
