Hosta ‘Alakazaam’


Miniature Hosta

Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This cute little miniature selection has long tapered green leaves with ruffled yellow margins that mature to cream. Lavender-purple flowers appear late summer. Ideal for a shady rock garden, border edge or in containers. Clumps may be easily divided in the spring or fall. Bred by Ron Livingston; a seedling of H. ‘Atom Smasher'.
