Hosta Little Aurora

Little Aurora Hosta

Hosta ‘Little Aurora’ — a miniature to small perennial hosta with a compact, mounded form, valued for its small green leaves edged in creamy yellow to white. The narrow, heart-shaped foliage has a neat symmetrical habit and bright variegation that makes it especially useful in small shade spaces, troughs, and edging. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
