This tiny yellow edged sport of Hosta gracillima was found on Kyushu Island in Japan. The narrow, very wavy green leaves are highlighted by a narrow golden border. Perfect for the small woodland rock garden, H. 'Kifukurin Ko Mame' will eventually make a 10" wide clump topped by dark purple flowers in summer.
Wavy leaves and cream margins, 3"clump with beautiful purple flwrs.
(Kee-foo-koo-reen ko ma-may) Another convention charmer-- only 3" across with beautiful purple flowers. Wavy leaves and cream margins. Diminutive delight.
Rare variegated Yakushimi Mizu.
A rare variegated form of 'Yakushima Mizu'. The narrow, upright, wavy, green leaves are edged in yellow. An irresistible plant! Lavender flowers.
Tiny, green leaves with creamy margins, similar to a miniature 'Stiletto', a real prize.
