Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Imp' is a lovely miniature hosta that has slightly rippled green leaves with creamy white margins. Lavender flowers on fairly tall 15" stems. Seems to be a pretty good grower for me. Like all minis, a rock garden or container with morning sun seems to be best.
