Details
Glossy green, wavy margins with narrow leaves. Japanese name 'Hime Iwa Giboshi' or "small rock hosta." This "species hosta" is native to the mountain valleys in Japan's Kochi Prefecture. This hosta is used by many hybridizers to produce mini hostas. Show off its wiggly leaves with the ruffled margin in troughs, rock garden or in front of borders. Lavendar flowers in late summer. Its fast growth rate, interesting leaves and size make this a great hosta!
