Thumbelina

Hosta "Thumbelina" review

Very attractive, low mound of white-margined foliage; registered seedling of 'Pin Stripe Sister' from Dick and Jane Ward; one of the best new plants in recent years. Very attractive small mound of green leaves with a wide creamy-white border…vigorous grower and has lavender flowers in July. This wonderful new introduction makes a fast growing compact mound to 2' wide. The nearly round medium green leaves are each edged in a nice creamy white border. The clumps are topped with 18" tall scapes of lavender flowers in early summer. Hosta 'Thumbelina' makes a great hosta for woodland borders.
