Hosta Lakeside hoola hoop and June
This small charmer has pointy lance shaped leaves that have very ruffled edges. It is impressive with its green very shiny leaves, with a thick yellow margin, that seem to bend in many directions. The lavender flowers are also unusual in that that they are striped with white.

Hosta Wind River Gold, Twist of Lime, Striptease, Blue Moon, Brunaria, Lakeside Downsized
This seedling of Knickknack is small, but not exactly mini. This hosta can spread into a little patch sometimes 16” across and about 5” high, with 1 foot scapes, bearing purple flowers in August. After a few years you can divide this one out in to many plants because it increases quickly, for a nice row at the front of the shade border.
The 2” x 6” leaves have 8 veins and develop rippled edges as they emerge. The green yellow leaves get brighter if given a little sunlight and the margin is a creamy white. More moisture will produce a denser mound.
Lakeside Downsized is the one in the lower front of this photo.

Golden Tiara is a fast growing small hosta with heart shaped olive green leaves, that are bordered with a band of yellow. A mature plant can mound to about 20 inches wide by 14 inches tall. The lavender flowers appear in mass in early June and continue for a long bloom period. Because of its vigor and tidy mounded form it makes a nice edger or mass planted ground cover. This plant won the Alex Summers Distinguished Merit Award in 1994 and the Nancy Minks Award for outstanding small-leaved cultivar. The plant does best in light shade to part sun.
