Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very attractive, thick, nearly round lemon yellow leaves surrounded by rich blue-green margins; Pest resistant. Bell shaped rich violet striped lavender flowers in July. Plant in afternoon shade, or light shade all day. Dwarf hosta.
This beautiful cultivar has the reverse variegation of 'Mighty Mouse' with small rounded leaves edged in blue green and centred with creamy yellow or creamy white. Lavender flowers in summer. Great for edging or in mass plantings. 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!
