Everything You Need to Know About Dwarf Hostas

Go to our Hosta Online Store

Dwarf hostas, otherwise known as miniature hostas, are making headlines because they’re an alternative to regular hostas. They allow you to include a few different species in your garden with plenty of space to spare.

Still, you might be wondering more about hostas, how to take care of them, and more. Luckily, we have the ultimate guide for you. Keep reading to find out more!

The Best Hosta Ground Cover

Ground cover is beneficial to every garden. In short, ground cover involves using plants that are short or small to prevent weeds from growing around larger plants and throughout the garden. Dwarf hostas are the best for this because they grow very close to the ground compared to regular hostas, so they’re ideal for anyone who wants to prevent pesky weeds.

Here, we’ve made a condensed list of the best hostas for ground cover.

  • Abiqua Blue Edger
  • Alpine Dream
  • Blonde Elf
  • Bold Edger
  • Butter Rim
  • Dinky Donna
  • Gold Cadet
  • Green Gold
  • Heartbeat
  • Iced Lemon
  • Jadette
  • Ray of Hope

The benefit of using these hostas in your garden is that because they’re small, they’re also very compact. That means you can include more hostas per square metre of space.

The Best Small Hostas for Your Garden

Now that you know all about hostas and ground cover, we can tell you all about the best small hostas for your garden.

Baby Booties: These hostas are great for gardens that need some extra green. These leaves are bright, lively, and have cream-coloured, uneven edges. The leaves, themselves, are rippled and are heart-shaped.

Blue Elf: This plant is a great alternative for those who love “Blue Mouse Ears”. Much like this plant, Blue Elf is bold and blue. For anyone who needs to create some contrast in your garden, Blue Elf looks beautiful among flowers and plants with bright colours.

Cameo Hosta: You’ll find that cameo hosta looks quite a bit like “Baby Booties”; however, the cream margins are much wider.

Cookie Crumbs: These leaves are much smaller than our other options; however, this plant is a fan favourite because it grows quickly and is very condensed.

Dew Drop: These plants are the best for gardens that need extra colour near the end of summer. They have lavender flowers that bloom at the end of the season, so your garden will smell and look great.

Miniature and Dwarf Hosta plants

Do you have a garden? Are you looking to add some extra life while optimizing your space? If so, then dwarf hostas are the way to go.

Miniature hostas cover the ground to prevent weeds and they add colour to every garden by producing contrast and beauty.
