Mini ( and I mean mini ) Hostas

I love me some hostas.

Especially mini hostas.

They used to be called " dwarf " hostas but that term has been discontinued and they are now called "mini" hostas.

In order for a hosta to be classified as "mini" , it must have a leaf size no bigger than 6 square inches.

I'm going to share some of my favs with you today.

Blue Mouse Ears

I actually love most of the hosta in the  "Mouse Ear" family.

Pure Heart is in the Mouse Ear Family also.

The other two are not.

But still adorable.

I have not had as good of luck with these Mouse Ear varieties.

But I'm not giving up.

I'm sure eventually I will collect all of the Mouse Ear Hostas.

That's just how I roll....

Mini Hostas can tend to get lost in a garden.

They work best in a garden of all minis or in containers.

Or at the very least , at the front of the garden.

Another of my favorites is Pandora's Box.

Sweet , yes ?

The blue/green one on the left is one of my all time favorites , but it is classified as "small" not "mini",

Baby Bunting

Here's a close up.

Do you have plants you can't help but collect ?

I'd love to hear about them.
