A miniature, clump-forming hosta that produces a symmetrical foliage mound (to 6" tall and 11" wide) of thick, rounded, blue green to gray-green leaves (2" long by 2 1/2" wide). This one needs fairly deep shade. Sunlight requirements of different hostas vary widely, depending on foliage color, which ranges from a deep blue to a light chartreuse to a soft creamy white. In general, the lighter the foliage, the brighter the sun. The deeper darker foliage retains it color best in moderate shade, while the variegated varieties need more sunlight to keep their white and gold stripes. All hostas need some shade and few, if any, will do well in strong direct sunlight. Plant in rich organic soil with a slightly acidic pH. Dig the planting hole about a foot deep, and wide enough to accommodate spread. Hostas are rugged and tolerate almost any soil. Drainage is most important, to prevent dormant season crown rot. When newly planted, keep the roots moist, not wet. Once established, hosta plants aren’t fussy. Fertilize each spring and again in summer. Granular fertilizers should never sit on the leaves. Deer find them tasty, and you might try planting daffodils around your hosta to keep them away from the emerging shoots.Slugs leave unsightly holes in the leaves, but a light scattering of sand around your plants will help keep them away.
