H. ‘Trisha's Sunny Paradise’

Overview

Registered in 2012, *Hosta* 'Trisha's Sunny Paradise' is a miniature sport of *Hosta* 'Paradise Sunset' distinguished by bright yellow leaves with golden yellow, slightly rippled margins. The cultivar produces dark purple flowers with maroon speckles on the petiole, and its leaves are notably larger than those of the parent plant.

In the Garden

This miniature hosta forms a compact, mound-like clump reaching 6 inches (15.2 cm) in height and 15 inches (38.1 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to dappled shade, where the gold margins remain most vivid, and is well-suited for rock gardens, troughs, or container plantings due to its small stature. Companion plants such as small ferns, heucheras, or miniature sedges complement its scale and leaf color.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, applying a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new shoots emerge. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur and should be monitored in typical hosta-growing zones.
