Hosta 'My Precious'

[Mini] We're always game for a new, cute miniature hosta! This sport of 'Silver Threads and Golden Needles' may be nearly identical to 'Illicit Afair', but that plant was never widely available. This precious little hosta has heart-shaped, gently cupped leaves that are green with a wavy, gold margin. The foliage shape is quite distinct when mature, and shows some very light dimpling. Hosta 'My Precious' forms a tight, rounded mound about 8" high and 14" across that blooms in mid summer with striped, light lavender flowers. An adorable addition to a trough or mini garden.
