Hosta Venusta

Hosta

Hosta venusta — a miniature perennial hosta with a dense, spreading mounded form, valued for its small glossy green leaves and vigorous groundcover habit. The narrow heart-shaped foliage forms low colonies over time, creating a fine-textured carpet in shaded areas. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in late summer and attract hummingbirds.
