A miniature sport of Hosta 'Gold Edger', registered by Bilben in 1998. 'Bilben Little Atlantis' is visually defined by its small, green leaves with golden yellow streaked flat margins, forming a compact mound.
In the Garden
Reaching approximately 4 inches (10.2 cm) in height and 9.5 inches (24.1 cm) in diameter, this miniature hosta is well-suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or trough gardens. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and pairs effectively with other small perennials such as heucheras or miniature ferns. Its compact size also makes it an excellent candidate for container cultivation.
