More Information

Description ‘Mini Skirt’ hosta has everything you love about the classic shade perennial, but now in a small pocket size! This hosta is an ideal plant for small spaces or container gardening, thanks to its dwarf size and colorful, ruffled leaves. It naturally keeps a perfectly mounded and tailored look, reaching only 12" wide at maturity. Although it looks fragile, it has a tough disposition and holds up under heat, humidity, and severe weather. It's incredibly easy to grow, making it a perfect option for both experienced and beginner gardeners.  Try using it in urban gardens with other small hostas, like 'Blue Mouse Ears' or 'Sun Mouse.'

Lovely little guy

This hosta is adorable. It has a dense growth habit, and feels more firm than most hostas. It is great at the front of the bed. The photo is of it in its first spring, after planting it last summer.

Couldn't be Happier with the Plants

The plants were received in tip top condition. Packed so that they wouldn't get bent or broken or lose any soil from the pots. Didn't have to wait long for delivery. Looked at the garden shops in my area for the same plants before ordering them on-line and found they were charging twice as much. Would use this company again without hesitation. Have referred them to several of my neighbors already.

I love these

The shipping was so fast. They were packaged so well. They arrived with clear instructions on care and planting. I ordered several of these and they all see to be growing well.

Skirt Hostas

So pleased with the strength and color of the plant. Sturdy plant. If I would want more plants of any kind, Great Garden Plants would be the first place I would go to.
I recommend this company highly.
