Hosta 'Little Miss Sunshine' SMALL (11" high by 20" wide.) This cute wavy leafed, gold hosta would look great in patio containers mixed with purple Heucheras and Carex ‘Evergold’. It is a fast grower that is sure not to disappoint! In the spring, the foliage emerges chartreuse but intensifies to bright gold as the season progresses.

Light purple flowers are held on wonderfully contrasting, deep wine red scapes in midsummer. $18.00	Photo Budd Gardens
Hosta 'Little Treasure' DWARF (6" high by 10" wide.) If you liked the miniature Hosta ‘Little Jay’ PP19539 which was also from Jan van den Top, you’ll love this new sport!

Lavender flowers are held on cream scapes which compliment the clump in early to midsummer. This hosta displays an improved vigor over 'Little Jay' and is easy to grow. $18.00	Photo Budd Gardens (Jason Taylor)

Hosta 'Loyalist' (Falstad 98) MEDIUM (12" high by 27" wide.) The show-stopping reverse variegation of the famous Hosta 'Patriot'.
