We introduced this little beauty, so of course we're partial to it, but now the hosta world is buzzing with excitement. 'Little Sunspot' has heart-shaped yellow leaves that are edged with a 1/2" margin of green. Its flowers, which appear in mid- to late summer, are white with pale-lavender veins. The plant forms a low mound, making it ideal for edging shady borders.
