Overview
Registered in 1986 by H. Weissenberger, this miniature cultivar arose as a hybrid of Hosta 'Blue Cadet'. It forms a compact mound of blue-green leaves with distinct margins, reaching only 4 inches (10.2 cm) in height and 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter. The leaves are 2 inches (5.1 cm) long and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide, with five pairs of veins.
In the Garden
'Hosta' 'Daniel' is well suited to shaded or partially shaded positions in typical hosta-growing zones. Its diminutive size makes it appropriate for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a border, where it can be paired with other small perennials such as Heuchera or Tiarella. The plant's compact habit also suits container cultivation.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur and should be managed as needed.
