Overview
Registered in 1996, 'Concordia Petite' is a miniature hosta derived from a cross between Hosta venusta (pod parent) and Hosta 'Golden Tiara' (pollen parent). It forms a compact, mound-like clump and is visually distinguished by its small, variegated leaves with dark green margins and a dull surface on both sides.
In the Garden
This cultivar reaches a mature spread of approximately 14 inches (35.6 cm) and a height of 5 inches (12.7 cm), making it well suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or trough plantings. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, and pairs well with other small perennials such as Heuchera or Tiarella. Its miniature size also makes it an excellent candidate for container cultivation.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release formulation. As with many hostas, slug and deer damage may occur and should be managed through appropriate barriers or deterrents.
