Hosta 'Little Wonder'

'Little Wonder' Hosta

Hosta 'Little Wonder' — a miniature to small variegated hosta valued for its small dark green leaves edged with crisp white margins. The compact foliage forms a tight, neat mound, making it especially useful for rock gardens, troughs, edging, and small shaded spaces. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding delicate color without overwhelming the miniature habit.

Features & Landscape Uses:
Ideal for rock gardens, trough gardens, front edges of shade borders, containers, and miniature hosta collections. Its crisp white-edged foliage provides fine detail and contrasts well with mosses, ferns, and other miniature shade plants.

Care:
Keep soil evenly moist and protect from drying out, especially in containers or shallow soils. Mulch lightly and remove old foliage in early spring. Divide only when needed, as miniature hostas establish best when left undisturbed. 🌿
