Description
An incredibly cute miniature Hosta perfect for small garden spaces, containers and fairy gardens, the Mini Skirt Hosta forms a 5 to 6 inch tall by 12 inch wide mound of bicolor wavy blue-green leaves with creamy yellow margins from which short scapes emerge displaying pretty lavender flowers the hummingbirds will enjoy in early to mid summer. Plant this little gem around patios and sitting areas or in the border along paths and walkways where its cuteness can be enjoyed from up close.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing only 5 to 6 inches tall and maybe 12 inches wide, the Mini Skirt Hosta is ideal for use as an accent or in groupings in small garden spaces and containers or in borders around patios and along walkways and paths. A fine addition to fairy gardens, miniature gardens, mixed hosta gardens, hummingbird gardens, yellow theme gardens and woodland gardens.
Cultural Preferences and Planting & Care Tips
The Mini Skirt Hosta Lily is easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and shade or part shade. It prefers the shade, and will practically grow in the dark, so is perfect for planting under tall decks and large shade trees where not much sun shines. That said, morning or evening sun or all-day filtered sun is fine. Hot, direct afternoon sun can scald the leaves, especially in warmer climates. Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Feed in spring with an organic plant food.
