This dwarf type of Hosta is my favorite! Great for border, container and under the tree. Lime green foliage with lavender flowers is very attractive.

Fast growing and if you remove spent flower stems it will keep growing more! Long blooming time from late spring early summer to frost! Good for cut flower, too! Flowers attract bees and butterflies. When the plant in full sun location the foliage is more yellowish green and in shady area the foliage is darker. Easy to divide the plant clump in early spring to propagate. USDA Zones:3-9. Be aware of snails and slugs damage foliage. Mature size:15-25cm (H) x 20-30cm (W)

這個矮性的玉簪是我最喜愛的玉簪,容易栽種繁殖,強健又生長快速. 花莖在花謝後剪除會再抽出花莖,紫色的花串配上黃綠色滿滿的葉片很美,吸引蜂蝶也可做切花. 可以做為整區,線狀種植或盆植,它也耐蔭,不過葉片會偏綠. 唯一的缺點是怕蝸牛和蛞蝓啃葉片. 成熟株高約15-25cm寬約20-30cm.
